Names Taylor. I built an XS650 bobber 2 years ago but got really bit by the cafe racer thing thanks to my Ducati GT1000 that i started modding...but it wasn't the same as a real classic... so i sold my bobber and bought a 73 500/4....non running..Well it runs now thanks to a whole head re-work and new rings but the carbs are so shot i got mad and bought an awesome running 76 550f (a little rough in some spots but really well looked after) today for 800$ so now i have a spare engine for the 550 frame if i should need it (provided the tranny isn't boogerd as i never had a chance to ride the 500). So this up coming winter will be switching some parts over from the 500 project to the 550.
in 4 years i have had alot of bikes...it just never ends.
