Would have been nice to get some info with it but...

I'd like to know what the swingarm and forks are off of.
No idea on that frame. The upside down U where the swingarm mounts and single down tube from under the tank are... geez... no idea.

Sucks when folks posts these things and there's NO info or links to go with it. Not that I'd rather they not post it  ;D

The inspiration from the photo is all I need. Info is over rated. Ducati rear wheel, custum stuff and bits, piggy back shocks = all the info you need. I think my ZRX is going to be transformed into this......but greeeeeeeen. Love the stance.

That is super cool looking, but the rear suspension seems doomed from the start with such little clearance between the tire and fender.

A motor can pack more air in the cylinder if its cold air as opposed hot air. And everybody knows that the air closer to the pavement is much warmer. So this is an obvious attempt to take advantage of the cooler air 3" above the normal intake location. ::)

Honestly, I wouldn't doubt if this has been posted a 100 times in one form or another, but I haven't seen this particular one yet so:






Lets not forget the Ducati's. I know they aren't SOHC's but there's no guarantee that the white one isn't?! lol

It's definitely from out of town with that license plate. How far out though...


Edit. Oh my god. It's a freaking NightHawk? Wow.

Looks like all that's left of the nighthawk is a motor, carbs and 80% of the frame.  I'd like to see what that guy could do with a Sabre or a Vmax.
