I like how carpy bashes ebay on his site and then turns around and sells them on there.

Yeah I saw it last night.  Its an awsome bike.  I am a fan of his work, just wish I has some $$$$$$$$$ to blow on it............... then again I like building my own but wouldn't hurt to have a runner for this season while I am building.......................Chris

Isn't that a MAC exhaust with the baffle pulled out of it?

[jalfonso]

Here's the sick part.  I had sent him an email asking about seat pans for a 550.  He send me seven or so pictures of this bike.  It went from bone stock to what you see there in just 7 days.  Amazing!

[Andoo]

He is doing some 350's as well 

[Stert]

the only thing i cant stand is the checkered flag pattern around the gauges...U.G.L.Y.

[edbikerii]

Oh sorry, it is a MAC with the baffle still in.

For the $2125 it is at now, it doesn't seem too bad a deal.  But there are still four days left!

I've got to admit, his "lifestyle marketing" is pretty creative.  He's taken a nice lesson from Harley Davidson there.  He's also very honest about the project taking only 7 days and the fact that it is not a showbike and still needs TLC.

More power to him.

Clubmans w/o rearsets makes for a very odd riding position

Allot of his bikes seem to be that way, which I think is kind of strange.

Ok, you're obviously starting the Carpy fan club and I'd like to be vice president.  What do we do first!

I find it fairly comfortable on my 750.  The new tracy will probably see rear sets though for a change of pace.

That tank is sweet.  Carpy does nice work in just seven days.

Caused me vicious cramps in my hips.  Clip-ons were even worse.

I get those from time to time depending on how I take off initialy.  Have had to stop and shake it out

Can't complain though, I like the feel of the ride.  Looking forward to the rears sets on the Tracy though.

[Dougy Dougy Dune Buggy]

Yeah, i hear you guys, when i was actively riding my 400Four Super Sport a few years back, i'd ride with my feet on my passenger pegs, even though the 1976 models had slightly rear set pegs, i think the most miles i did was around 350-400 in a day and i was kinda sore, but beer helped that when i pulled into the garage..ha ha
So anyhow, i cannot afford to buy ANY parts from Carpy OR Benji, but i'll do my best to have mine with a similar style.

Is that licence plate holder a piston arm?  Man, that is fine example of "no waste."  My hats off to the man.  Wish I could make a living wrenching on bikes.  Although, I wonder if it takes all the fun out of it?
