Freaking sweet. I love how your bike flows.

Thanks. I'll try and snag a pic sitting on it later. It's the seat off a 2013 Shadow Phantom.

A few months ago I finally got my bike running and riding after about 7 years. Most of the fabrication on the bike was done by Workingman Customs. Though with the help of my friend I did the handle bars, brake mounting and lever, kickstand mount, shifter lever, as well probably many more things I'm forgetting.

The motor is running Weber carbs on a Russ Collins manifold and a ARD magneto.



The video is my very first time actually riding it (the ringing sound is the exhaust vibrating against each other).

Here's a few pics of my work in progress.

Been a long time since i last posted here in Chop Cult.
3 months ago I bought this W650 from Smith's Customs here in NSW Australia.
Smiths did his magic it to it. Late 1960s Yamaha DS6 fuel tank. Slammed shocks. Triumph handlebars. Uni Filter pod filters on the carbs. Small digital speedo. Smaller headlight. Ford Tail light.


As much as I loved the look and Smiths did an amazing job I wanted to make it my own. So....
Motosai seat.
BSA Bantam D7 tank.
Modded Zombie Performance Astro Glide bars. Changed them from Riseless to Clamp style.
New digital speedo. (Acewell)
Lowered and pushed back the headlight.
LED lights all round. (Lights or globes)
Vintage saddle bags/panniers.
White heat proof paint on the headers.
Posh vintage gribs.
Mash up of 2 different mirrors.
Header wrap on the top half of the forks between the triple trees.
Few more stickers.
Cut down front fender.

A little mock up before I sprayed it with another coat of paint.

PeanutHead, what's that seat off of? Looks like the same seat I've got on my shadow... most comfortable seat ever!
