those whitehouse bikes are a couple of my absolute favorite new/old bikes. hard to choose from the black/silver or this red/blue model above.

Bill, I love that 450 you posted.

There are a couple of cool scoots in this photostream. I would also say very inspirational too.

Thanks Benjie for the link. Some real nice ones. Again, you has the classiest stuff at your place, when I have the bread I want to talk you into making the 4 to 4 exhaust for my 550 (650?) like those 750 SS pieces you make.

We need more resto bikes up in here.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #1517 on:** April 15, 2009, 04:20:57 PM »

Do they still make the phantoms ?...They were the ants pants in the early 80's.

Looks like you can only get a 180 for the rear.......anyone got a 180on the rear.....iwould love to know. I have a 4.5 inch rear that will take a 150-160, wondering if i can squeeze in a 5 inch rear rim.........

nope... don't think so.
i have a 180 on the back of my zx7r and i have trouble envisioning how you'd squish one in the back of an sohc4
