Blubber Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 My experience with OSS is... you ask technical details. For fluffy opinions you go to the wife / Gf. They hold a special gift: the ability to generate tactfull lies... " That's interesting or different " is one of them. 2 Quote
micktodd Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 Technical i can do so really asking what people think of the style Quote
Blubber Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Well... It needs a brown tuck an roll seat, matching brown kung- fu biltwell handle bar condoms and neon lights spark plugs and lane splitter z bars. Zz top beard is optional. According to the hipsters. Quote

Well done for not getting a monk on! Good luck with it, as you say, it's your bike, it doesn't matter if I don't like it. I don't though, did I mention that? Seriously though, I know a good physio.

You would be even richer but seriously i bought it off the evilbay picture was the size off a passport photo .so as you do i went and bought it in bits just done mock up of frame and wheels ,rebuilt the engine its not what i expected it to look like and can be changed back to stock rear end and no gs7-11 not my bike yet till i do it how i want it hence why i wanted peoples input Quote
wraith Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 If it was me, I'd put/convert it to 1" wide flat handle bar's, change the seat to something that's closer fitting the the frame and use a push bike shock under the seat to take out the worst of the bumps. Maybe put the rear wheel from the Suzuki xv800 in (as they go state in with no messing, just get the brake hanger and spacer. Done this ) and put the front end on to mach. But hay that's me. Quote
micktodd Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 Thanks wraith have been looking at the xv wheels def needs seat sorting and straights would look better Quote
Swirl Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Crack on with your oilboiler build, much more OSS than TL's etc which are allowed by the board, Quote

vizman Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 it's a shafty with a hardtailed/modified standard frame.....it's never gunna' be a 'looker' 1 Quote
vizman Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 i'd keep the skinny standard wheels, replace the head light and bars for a bates and 18inch apes, throw a set of leather saddle bags on the rear, a set of toast racks and 4 drag pipes. Quote
