           Well, at least you've got the choices laid out. ;) Now comes the decision as to which one it will be. :D God Luck on THAT one fuzzy!
I figure that whatever you chose, you'll do it up right. ;)

                                 Take care, Bill :) ;)

Yeah! a nice lowrider! those CX engines are wierd, slim V with a 22 degree twist on the heads just to get the inlets and exhaust pointing in the right direction.

That front end does not look like its got much suspension travel!
Get rid of the tank and put a big fat 3 inch top tube on to act as frame and fuel tank.

That frame is pretty nice as it is.  I like the way it is round in the rear.  Maybe I just like anything that is round in the rear.   ;D

Maybe you've spent too much time staring at James' avatar :D

BTW, does that bike use the engine as a stressed member or did someone cut the downtubes off?  Is there some kind of bolt-on brace missing?

CX's and parts abound on EBAY! I know I just inherited one for free and am just about to have it street legal...to be honest the bike seems a bit under powered at only around 50 ponies but I haven't really been able to wind it out yet as I don't "technically" have all the papers to make it legal on the street yet..
