I might be wrong, but the tail on Shortrounds bike looks to be a H2 Kawasaki repo.  Definately fits the bike, if I was to go with a solo seat that would be the one.

Still cant decide on which to vote for though... ???

The tail is a one off custom. no remake

thanks again for all the votes. it really encouraging to know others like your work. Shelby is on her way to a new home. It went to a really nice kid right out of the Navy. she will be missed. Now on to Scarlet, 1973 CB750, shes going to be the one i keep. and there's two more 350 fours in the stable, so stay tuned...........

Laminar, i see it too but i guess i'm a bit reactionary because so many non-gear heads in these parts think only shelbys came with white/ blue stripes. likewise they refer to stripes over the roof as "ss" stripes, after the chevy ss. again, i'm nick-picking.

that gt 350 is very nice, and with the rare crager/shelby mags.

sorry, back to botm.  :-X ;D
here's my old 1961 356 porsche.
 i almost went with red stripes but changed my mind as we were mixing the paint.

Jeez, nobody's paid less than a billion dollars for a 356 since the late 70s. Was the PO really that desperate to get rid of it?

I'd love one for myself, BTW, ever since I played NFS Porsche Unleashed which still is the best NFS game ever.

Hey Congratulations  Shortround, very deserving! 8) ;)


         As has been said, BOTH Shortround and Turbogrimace have done GREAT jobs on their bikes and that makes the voting a bit difficult at times. :o


                                                Take care Gentlemen, Bill ;)
