That sure looks like a Harley XLCR gas tank on the bike directly behind the Seeley. Another rare bird; only about 3000 made.

That was a 450 single Ducati mate, the bloke kept starting the bloody thing up and we couldn't hear ourselves think....

There was an XLCR there but i didn't get any pics of it. There was literally hundreds of bikes there and around 20,000 people....

Yeah, I could tell it was a thumper motor of some sort, but I still think it is an XLCR tank on that bike; it even looks like it has the HD badge. Sounds like a fantastic event!!!

Check out the quality aluminum work on the tail of the bike to the right of the CBX. Gorgeous. I not a fan of the rest of the bike, but the tail is not too shabby! RR

Have a look at this pic, and you'll see how I was confused.

Yes, i'm familiar with the XLCR and could see the resemblance in the tank. Had a friend who used to have a MK3 Ducati 450, unfortunately he road it off the side of a mountain....

The whole bike was polished aluminum mate....

I'm not big on Buell's either

Scott it looks like a version of a jellybean tank, popular on Ducati singles..

Sweet engraving on the Fuller 550:

I was shocked when Fuller hired my friend Totem to engrave his 550, he is an awesome artist

I would be willing to bet many of you have seen this before, but I just stumbled upon it. Nice to see Squirley's build as well as Godfreys'. Perhaps more in this listing, but the best part is, it seems to go on forever. Not one bike shown in this list I wouldn't gain inspiration from, or if not inspiration, at least a bit of jealousy

Well, no knowledge/facts of knowing this bike... but I can point you to some parts and designs...

It appears to have a Benly 150 Touring modified front forks or a similar bike of that era...
My Benly has forks similar to that but the headlight shell is built into the top of the forks and they have a chromed cover over the bottom portion of the forks near the leading link. The C102 and C200 have same front end design as the Benly...or the Benly has the same as the C102 or C200...as they came before or about the same time as the '63 Benly Touring 150.
Could be modified C200 front forks...
http://www.motorera.com/honda/h0090/c200.htm
or C102...
http://www.motorera.com/honda/h0050/c102.html

Frame has more Cub influence so it may be a concept derived from the C102 instead of the C200.

Frame of course is very custom with the front forks raked...
Interesting design.

Motor is bigger than a 90cc and could be a 125cc or maybe a larger displacement Chinese Lifan type motor of 140cc?
Doesn't look like any Honda horizontal motor I've seen. (Lifan, if you didn't know, was a parts maker for Honda for many many years before they branched out on their own...)

Would be a young man's bike as us old farts don't fold up as easy as we used too and the peg location versus handlebars says you nearly lay on the woodwork to reach the handlebars...

Hey David, thanks for the C200 link! My first Honda was a white '66. After seeing what that poor bike survived, I was sold on Honda motorcycles.

Since it seems that non SOHC bikes are exceptable here in the gallery, here's one that is inspiring me to get back to work on my KZ1000.
