The little details are fascinating.

9 times out of 10 Bill that's what either makes or breaks a bike for me.

I hate v-twins due to market saturation, but if it's just so.... I'll drool like homer over beer nuts.

I like flash as much as the next but details and quality win out for me too.

These conversions from dirt bike to road (street?) racer are also neat and remind me of when someone takes a high pipe Honda scrambler twin, and slaps clubmans on.

I'd be in for a group buy if we could get something going. The fact that you can get buttons and switches built into the clamps makes me want them even more. It would be nice if there was something similar for about half that price though............$700 is pretty close to what I paid for the whole bike....hehe

That is nice! I've thought about painting my fenders and this gives a good reference. even the black tail light bracket is an improvement.

Sorry Havoc. I lost the info but don't feel guilty that I've just spent the last hour or so tracking this down.  :'(  ;D

BTW Krixxer I like the lack of graphic on your Audi yellow bike.

Your generosity is overwhelming HT.  ;D

I've had pix of the blue Triumph so now seems good to post. I think the combination of modern and traditional works here; I'd really like to see a few SOHC's done this way. Or DOHC Hondas for that matter.


   

And this!




I kinda like these spine frame bikes. So elegant and strong n stuff.
