Damn Luky, this is really a nice clean tight build. Great job can't wait to see it run!

Glad its over! The engine is a 2004 Roadstar engine with 37,000 miles.

Nice Build.


I own a XV1700 as well, not as nice as yours.

I'll be at sea on Thursday- will look west with my fingers crossed. Enjoy!

Thanks Hoghead! Pacific or Atlantic?
I lived on a boat I built for 11 years.

[Hoghead]

Atlantic/English Channel -just a short little trip as the Girlfriend:
a/ Loves the sea and tall ships
b/ Hopes to see dolphins
There's a Force 7 blowing in the bay outside the window but it'll calm down by tomorrow.

We sailed on Astrid before her loss in 2013


11 years on a boat?? You must be used to keeping things tidy!

[Luky]

Yes.

[Hawkstone]

Yes.

Excellent.
Now go ride. You've earned it.

[Luky]

Thanks Hawkstone!

[Hoghead]

Yes.

Yay! Enjoy the riding!

Freaking awesome build. Did not turn out at all like I was expecting. Beautiful bike man.

"to be continued...." that looks like a better way than liftin' it up on the bench.
What is your vision for this usa today protonmail build?

I moved the engine by hand then I would jack the other end of the table up and attach legs.

help please

I traded a table saw and miter saw and 21 degree nail gun for a 1996 honda shadow vt1100c. thought from the pics it was a 600 or 750 anything with a chain drive would be easy to hardtail it. nope shaft so my thinking now is weld up some tubes and bolt them in place of the shocks.I have already but 1 and 7/8 z drag handlebars on it and made a rear fender for it .next step is and this is were I could use some help getting rid of all the crap that the bike really dosen.t need and be able to put some cool air in takes on it any one know what I can junk for the motor compartment and still make it go
