Wow man, thats a great find. Looks like it musta been a insulated well built shed.

 

cool, cen that on cl over here. whats the plans

 

start with girder removal and go from there, very cool find

 

Put a seat and fender on the damn thing and ride it. Girder and all. That's a great find.

 

what shovithead said

 

+2 on Shovithead. That thing rocks.

 

yea well putting the seat and fender on alls good and was gonna go that way but im just to fuckin short to reach the controls,so that sucks.just keeping the motor tranny tank and maybe the bars.ive got a ton of shit waiting to be used if i came up with something like this

 

Id sit on a phone book if i had to. That thing is truly Rad !

 

its perfect as is...awesome looking

 

Great find as is!

 

fackin cool man

 

hd, i wonder if the old style, over stuffed, king and queen seat wouldent move you up enough?

 

starting to mock up.at the shop for fab work,a little stainless hoop for fender,controls and a better way to mount the tank than just threading the backbone like the old frame

 

do you know how the engine is?
cool find

 

bike started on 2 kicks after sitting 4 months that i know of.when i got to the guys house it had no tank or bars on it so i know it wasnt warm before i got there.no noise or smoke.ill see how it goes

 

ditto on shovithead!!

 

must have been a long fricken shed too

all i ever find is junk in the sheds i look in, good deal

 

a lil more done

 

Looking good!

 

hdshovel82, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? You took an awesome 70's style chopper and turned it into an everyday trendy don't take a second look bike. Nice job.

 

If you see bikes like that everyday I am moving to Texas! Its really weird how turning a motorcycle into something that is more ride able is trendy. Maybe its because these trendy bikes are being ridden!

Hdshovel82-Great find nice work!

 

Wouldnt have gone that direction with pan chop that was sweet already,..
but its not my bike,..was there paper issues?

 

Man ... I'da left her alone but wtf do I know. Rock on brother.

 

Running mids with some dogbones might have helped you reach the controls a little, just my thoughts.

 

run a select shift trans lid, with some cool old factory tank shift 3.5's tanks ! that would be cool, and deviate from the wassle, sportster, peanut trend [ army] of cookie cutter builds. Just throwing it out at cha. fuel capacity rules !!!

I second that motion. yer honor

 

I dig pans, and think it is pretty hard to fuck up a Pan....looks fine to me either way. Personally...if i wanted better fuel consumption, handling and ergonomics---I'd buy a fucking Honda. An elec starter and a hand clutch/foot shift would be easier too---not ragging on your scoot at all---just throwin it out there

Not understanding the message here, is this new age internet tough talk?

 

well not that i need to justify anything here but i bought this bike for the motor/tranny.after 4-5 yrs of looking here for one w/ good paper i grabbed it.it was cheap enough and will leave me w/ enough parts to sell when im done for other shit.if anyones got a hard time for what im doing pony-up some $$$,buy the rest of it and return it its 70s glory.it was indeed cool the way it was,just not what i wanted.
joey

 

Well said. Build it the way you want.

Any starting bidders????????
