If anybody is still looking for a project, here's one I'll sell for cheap. It's a Kaw KX650sr.

naterkane · March 7th, 2006, 06:51 PM

Started mocking up the '66 Ducati. The tank and seat are going to change, but the fenders, headlight, and bars will be about like this. I may remove the valance on the front fender... or not. Haven't quite decided yet... the 250 will be getting valanced fenders front and rear so I may go with something more "sporty" on this one. I'm also going with 17" wheels rather than the 16" wheels it has now, so the front fender will be closer to the tire when I'm done...

Here's a "before" shot for comparison:

"OH MY" can you just hear it......

gt brain · June 15th, 2006, 11:53 AM

Since I can't seem to focus on one thing at a time, the bug sits waiting for
an engine and my son and I have to start on something else. It's a
78 cb550 we've been hardtailing the last month or so. We still need to
finish up the carbs, figure out the wiring, mount the tank..... too much
crap to do, we just want to ride the damn thing. Just curious what you
guys think about the mustang tank compared to the stock tank?[attachmentid=10849] [attachmentid=10850]

Turbo Punk · June 24th, 2006, 06:18 AM

This HAS to be my favorite custom bike. There's just something about Jesse Rooke's bikes that really catch my eye.

Here's a link to more pics. http://www.rookecustoms.com/html/bikes_SS.html

Where the hell is the Gas tank? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif[/img]

I think it has a split oil/gas tank. That's the only thing I can come up with. Looking at the pics (I added the other side view) there are 2 caps on it.

mkparker · June 24th, 2006, 08:23 AM

Jesse's bikes are very cool! Kinda taps into that Stingray bicycle most of us had back in the day. The oil/gas tank occupy the same area...obviously not a cross country scoot.
For more than 40 pages of cool "Jap" bike pics check out the Chopper Underground Jap thread

And last but not least!

Others including my fave..Trikes!

Getting a little further along on it now...

That's the tank I'll be using, along with the 17" wheels. Toolboxes are mounted, seat pan modified, it's almost ready to start the teardown to refinish everything .

**carcentric** · July 13th, 2006, 08:46 AM

Trikes are motorcycles (by law, anyway), so this isn't really off-topic:

Show of hands - who here REALLY NEEDS something like this?

BTW, if there's a way for non-moderators to make thumbnails that will link to an online pic, the method should be written up in the sticky threads. I haven't found instructions, so this picture is BIG. Apologies to dialup members.
