Man that is perfection!

Looking nice, so what happened with this build?

[frogish]

Drooling. Fork shrouds gives it that extra.

'94 VLX. After four years of tinkering with this build in my scarce spare time, she's finally complete. Everything you see is powder coat - the wheels, exhaust, tins, motor, frame, forks...all of it.

Alrighty, I just finished my first chopper, after a long time owning the bike and changing things over the last year it's good enough to call done for now. It's a 2000xvs650.

I'm currently working on a 1981 Virago 750, I love the idea of guys building choppers before there was even a parts catalog, so I've just been using parts bikes and hand made parts. Since I got it for a case of beer and made everything for free so far, it's name is Pennyless.

That's one beautiful bike!

What the shit?!?

Where were you when George Miller was making Fury Road?

It's exactly what I described, a home built version of the front end used on some 80's racing bikes (including the Britten V1000) and on some recent BMW's (k1200/1300/1600). I put about 5k miles on it, a lot of that riding to work and back, then had electrical problems I haven't yet fixed.

I was already building this when Fury Road was announced, but didn't finish it until a year or so after the release date. I'd LOVE to work on vehicles for one of his new films. I actually took this bike to a huge Mad Max festival held in the CA desert and won :best bike" in their vehicle show. This shot is from the "parade" they had.

Here's my take on a cafe racer using a Gen1 2002 Suzuki SV650 It is being built for go and show.
Next is a custom tank.

Here's my 74 TX650 build. Not finished yet, but I'll never be able to ride it, so I'm in no hurry. The interest is in the fabrication, machining, painting and mods. I've nodded it to include single point conversion, PMA conversion, single seat, hand beaten side panels, ally battery box, tail light, headlight brackets, cooler, spin on filter and lots more hand built stuff.
