You guy's remember a couple of years ago , 2010, I started a project and made a steampunk cafe tail , Still have it , never finished it.


Thanks for not finishing it, that looks horrible!
Yeah, But I'm not the one with a handlebar mustache, I figured you of all people would like the Steampunk thing.

An engine for something like a virago has a better look for what you're looking to do. Although I don't get steam punk, it just seems like punk, emo, goth, rocky horror and comic con to me, an excuse for you to take out your anger on the world, play dress up and "stick it to the man" and of course hook up with poser chicks :) I gotta say if you do what you want to and make it what you're looking for its cool...

P.S take terry's offer, hell I want to try to

I dug it in 'The wild wild west' with Will Smith or Jules Vernes 20,000 leagues under the sea, But that was relevant, the new style is a fad that will go away

Before anyone else cries "IT'S A STYLE THAT'LL GO AWAY AND THEN YOU'LL LOOK STUPID!!"... look back at all the lovely choppers people built in the 70's when these bikes were new. Massive rakes, tall seat backs, swirly paints, etc, etc, things that people love to preserve today... or just paint over and move on.

The same thing will happen here. Beats all of us riding the exact same bike.

I have a chandelier you can have for a head lamp,youll have to work out how to stop the candles for indicators blowing out once its moving though?i think solid rubber tyres are a must aswell.

I have been considering a new style that I would describe as PioneerPunk.  My artistic vision sees the blending of an early CB750 with a Conestoga wagon.  I am still working out the details but I am hoping that I can count on the artistic vision of some of you to help with this project.  I have the wagon and am now looking for an early CB750 to hack up  customize to make this project a testament  to my trendsetting vision.

6 pages of people bashing this guy for having the audacity to (a) have his own visions and (b) not ask Terry for his permission to build it. I notice he has stopped commenting, I hope that isn't because you guys haven't chased him off.

This is a great forum that I am proud to be a member of and which I promote to other SOHC4 owners when I meet them (I made up business cards with my forum name and the address along with the Naked Goldwing forum and the MG Experience). But I am rather ashamed of how the original poster was treated in this case.

Thanks...as this project will likely be heavier than a standard CB750 the extra power that  pods provide will be very helpful.

I am not sure you have really grasped my vision.  The CB750 will replace the oxen as motive power.......although your offer has me thinking...... I would like the exhaust to smell like horse or ox sh!t.
