I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

I love seeing mods where "period correct" parts are used.  Didn't some of the prototypes have a bunch more 450 parts?

I remember seeing some pics of a prototype 750 with a 450 tank (I think) a few years ago on this forum.  It was either done as a mock-up or as a kind of disguise to keep the real look a secret until the unveiling.  


edit:  found one of the threads.

According to Ted it wasn't a prototype but an early production bike with the alternate tank.

It appears that the gascap and maybe petcock have been changed. Keep in mind 450s have a balance tube you have to deal with, and probably some tunnel bashing..
