I know there is some HD haters on here, to each their own I guess. I appreciate most bikes and understand that each one has it's own function. For me, my HD has been a great bike to ride hundreds of miles in a day, like Sunday, when I road it 981 miles. For the people who find inspiration in vintage choppers check out my blog. I road to Born Free 4 in LA, CA this weekend and i was great. I've posted a bunch of pics already and plan to post about 100 more. I'm not looking for a "this bike is better than that bike" discussion, I'm just a dude who likes all kinds of bikes.

Hey, there's my little red 350F peaking out behind my friend's Triumph.

Nice! I was wondering who road that 350 in. I have one of the same color but it's in boxes waiting to be put back together. I love the small bore SOHC's. Cool bike man.

Is this an XS650? If so what year? Are those stock pipes? I love it...next build

Cheffish · « **Reply #8328 on:** July 13, 2012, 03:42:17 PM »

It's an XS special I think. Since it has mags and a rear disc. Those are not stock pipes. I want one too. But they are impossible to find out here

crazypj · « **Reply #8329 on:** July 13, 2012, 03:57:29 PM »

Probably a 1977, rear frame is a lot different on 78

Any of you Ducati experts know what this bike started life as and what tank/fairing they might have used?

Early 1990's 750 SS or 900 SS Ducati Try 1992, looks like an early to mid 70's style 750SS fairing...Don't know about the tail..

^ Very interesting bike. Love the seat and white pipes. What tires are those?

Tintop · « **Reply #8340 on:** July 17, 2012, 05:19:57 AM »

tires are Avons. Doubt the pipe will stay that nice once exhaust heat gets it though, especially at the tight bend at the front.

Tintop · « **Reply #8341 on:** July 17, 2012, 08:16:50 AM »

This was parked at the HD dealer when I went there to dyno my racing sidecar. It's a 77, belongs to one of the mechanics.

Noticed that the front forks have been changed to Earl's type.

'edit' and its an automatic.

^ that's awesome

I got a pipe that bends as tight or tighter on my old 750...

"Spokey" was a little paranoid about having his pic or all his stuff put on the interwebs. This doesnt even scratch the surface. BSA,Triumph,Norton,Ducati,ect.ect.ect. all old or very old. total hoarder. totally #$%*in cool.
