Maybe so on the front. But it would probably work better if it had a master cylinder. IDK maybe it's pull string operated.

So how fast do you think the oil will drain itself out? That tank looks a little crooked to me. But the guy did a bang up job with the electrics, don't ya think?🤪 Looks like he was able to put almost everything behind the ONE sidecover!

It is a beautiful piece of work, all it needs is to be taken apart and sold as parts!

Yeah, well I think it's probably still a work in progress, so eventually he'll get the brakes and oil tank sorted. It's a "Po-boy" custom, if I did it I think I'd buy one of Cycle-X's frames, and a custom oil tank etc, but this thing could be finished properly and made into a nice ride. But I am drinking heavily, and taking some very strong pain killers, which are working very well together I must say, so who knows what I'm actually looking at? Carry on.

According to the seller, this mess has a GPZ 900 motor in it, but is titled as a ‘84 ZX7. I can feel the outrage of Kawasaki fans everywhere.

I assume this is a rendition of what you look like after riding this menace.

How the f%*k do these things go around a corner ? Completely impractical, but I guess that wasn't there intention when they built them. More about being hipster cool and outdoing the next guy.

I like it! I’d ride it just the way it is!

Yep, a great bike for American roads, but no good for anywhere with corners.

Yes, the "Brick" wasn't the prettiest of motorcycles, but there's one sure-fire way of making it look worse, give an idiot an angle grinder.........

How about these 2 Terry?. I know both the blokes who have done this to them.

I almost like the bottom one mate, except for the mismatched wheels, which looks cheap. I still think mine looks better. It'll go better too, when I install the turbo kit Ted sold me......

OmG , it is so SWEET...

I saw this and thought it was pretty cool. you guys were all drooling over that steampunk 750 that got built on here.

754 · « **Reply #2191 on:** June 11, 2020, 11:33:26 pm »

I was kidding. The one built on here had a theme to it and things fit together quite well.
This 400 , not very much..

jakec · « **Reply #2192 on:** June 12, 2020, 09:59:26 am »

This one is the same style, they just didn't take it as far (has anyone ever taken a build as far as that guy did?) haha

Remcod · « **Reply #2193 on:** June 12, 2020, 11:00:08 am »

Does it sound like a trumpet?

I guess it's a fashion right now, but personally I just don't get the whole "chop off the arse, fit a Chinese made mini seat and wrap the exhaust in a bandage" thing.
And $19,000 !!!

LOL

Yeah,I was also wondering why they remove the sidecovers,electrics,battery,airbox and it looks like a see-through window/open-space under the seat.I could imagine someone could design custom-made,clear plastic 'glove boxes' to install underneath that space,to carry stuff:it's close to the center of gravity.Possibly a clear plastic,custom auxiliary fuel tank.They're sure opening-up space below the seat.. why not put something useful down there. lol

They could also install 2 mini-flatscreens facing either side,advertising something as the bike rolls by:something's missing from down there.. lol

This thing can't even come close to the artistry that went into the steam punk bike! It's just a bunch of junk stuck onto a previously useable bike.

Gives a whole new meaning to 'trumpet style exhaust pipes' that's for sure. Wonder what tune it plays in ?

Pass.....doesn't appear to be well thought out.
