this thread makes me regret two things…

1.  not being able to buy a bonneville because owning a house is expensive.

2.  selling my vintage windsor track bike to put towards the down payment on said house.  i miss that bike and i'll never be able to replace it.  and on top of it i have no pictures of it.  what an idiot i am.

shutoko, completely redone = stock rebuild or?

[shutoko]

nah I'm taking it to Hide Motors for a full custom job. I took off as many parts as possible but living in a 40sq m apartment with my wife and no garage doesn't really allow space to work on the bike.

Sick.  Are you going to bob/chop/flat track/etc?

I swear - when I'm done growing my hair I will chop it to a JimmyC mohawk…

[Seul]

I've honestly been thinking about growing back a mohawk… Maybe in the summer...

Something like this with a few changes (21 inch wheel, different bars, pipes, etc.):

I think I finally figured out what the 21oz Harley is. It looks like an xr750. Can anyone confirm this?

lotd,

Is this it…..........

[daveo]

It looks like a flat track bike, which means the xr750 would make total sense.

SPORTSTAR 1200s WORKS SPECIAL

[injunjack]

That's what I thought also. I think I read that from somewhere. You can get those flat-track parts aftermarket…Nice bike

[leftofthedial]

Thanks g! You can get a ton of aftermarket flat track parts for sportsters.

The xr750 is ny perfect bike

Picking up a 75 Honda CB 500 this week. All it needs is the points set, some brake fluid and gasoline! Pretty damn excited, as it will be my first bike.
