jensvonbustenskjold Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Wow that's neat! I that it's not totally stripped. Almost crouiser like Quote
K.H.I Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 It's not a old stripped down Brit twin, it's a bike with a brown seat. It's not a cafe racer. If it is some kind of mobile cafe you will have trouble making fry ups. 2 Quote
vizman Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Aircooled but I do get my panties in a bunch when words are misused, they used to describe the subject matter e.g. bobber, chopper, custom, rat, etc... ...now it just appears you can use them willy nilly...from now on I’m gunna try the same with the numerical system, all my tenners are now twenties, I’m quids in alreadyoff to the for sale section to see what I can now afford, that’s if the pictures match the description or vickyvercky 6 Quote
vizman Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 I still can’t afford nowt....even if I call my fivers fifties 3 Quote
E T Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Why wrap a perfectly good exhaust that will be rotten in about six months once wrapped, hippsters use it to cover up the shit welding 1 Quote
Mljbone Posted July 4, 2019 Author Posted July 4, 2019 This is the same bike, I don’t want to completely strip down so I can put it back to “stock” when I want. Hence kinda! 1 Quote
370steve Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Its your bike, do with it what you must But dont wrap the fuckin exhaust FFS 3 Quote

bluedog59 Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Everybody hold their horses, it's his bike and he likes it. I can understand why it's been done so it can go back to stock ( there's plenty of people who've dived in with the angle grinder and wished they hadn't ) and it's up and running. Good on you mate for keeping another OSS bike on the road. And don't,for f*ck's sake, wrap the fuggin' exhaust. 3 Quote
Blubber Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Amen Don't scare this Newby to much ... In general the newby skin is still to soft for pure OSS sarcasm or our opinions. Diilute and gently rub it in...before you torch him and his project. Ahhh fuck this polite eco friendly PC hippy talk.... The nicest thing I can say about an "L" version is that it's functional at best 4 Quote
