think ive said it before thats one beaut of a bike you gorra miss that, TBH i dont care to much for the bikini fairing but think the new seat is the mutts nuts
did you build it paul?

Yep, complete tear-down and ground-up build, here's what it looked like beofre I started!



and part-way through



I had the tank custom made by Unity Equippe, it cost me more than the original bike!

Agree with you about the fairing, and the seat is a beaut, no idea where that came from although I suspect the current owner coudln't tell you either! The photos of the build he refers to are the ones I sent him when he adevrtised this last September time and I suspect he bought it already looking like that.

Please, before anybody gets their panties in a twist, I am NOT taking the piss with this, but read the description to yourself in a Geordie accent, "i have road hear along the street and she goes rely well and sounds oursom" then try and fault the guy's spelling! This has to be one of the best adverts on E-bay

must admit, it cost me more than that in time and gas to bend mine and it was nowhere near as well done as that.

Very old skool cool

last ones pretty much what mine should look like apart from the colour... (hopefully).

mine will be closer to sixty quid in value though

Come on Shaun lad, you're building it for you and you get out what you put in. End value is immaterial, I had to let the Honda go for 1/2 what it owed me, that's not what it's about!

completely agree.

its just the way i look at things like that.

if i kept a tally of how much i spend on things i'd never do owt.

plus, wifey tends to read stuff over my shoulder occasionally and can pick up on numbers like a hawk.

Oh yes, know that one, that's why so many of my posts are in the wee small hours or early in the moring whilst she's still sleeping!

Oh dear, I must be warped, I actually like that, although at 3,500 quid it's a bit on th expensive side to my mind.

I actually had an XV750 (Virago) I hated the thing so much I triked it, wish I'd seen this first!

.

Yeah you're right, the later XV Virago had/has an cruiser frame with the tilted-back yoke and high centre tube, you'd need to do some cutting and shutting to give it the proper cafe stance.



As for your gold Yam, I can see why you keep going back to it, it looks mean, all engine and nastiness!
