The rear seat and cowl arent mounted/ done yet. Just sort of sitting on the bike in the picture, its finally starting to warm up :thumbup:

I would highly, highly suggest ANYONE thinking about a bike to go ahead and buy a vintage. Dont let your friends talk you into a new Liter bike because they are all caught up in machoness. This is my FIRST and LAST bike. I can work on it myself, fix it myself, and insure it for thousands cheaper.

Comments? Questions?

Video of undertail flames, no sound though :rolleyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIkhJaInbdg

Will include regular pipes for those of us with sensitive ear drums.

Also included is all of the parts removed (some extra parts), a extra fuel tank, drag bars, chilton, lowering brackets for the rear, and an extra new throttle linkage. I have various seat pans and seats that I was playing with that you can try out and see what suits your butt and style.

Bike is fouling a plug just needs a carb tune. Can hear run! Extra jets are included. And she needs tires and inspection. Everything else works. I worked out all of the electrical bugs which was no fun at all :roll:

Haha I'll comment. That bike looks badass, I love the cafe racer look. I had an older Duc monster that I tried to do in that style. Much cudos to you for rockin the vintage, I laughed at the kickstart, you don't see that much anymore! If I were in the market for a bike I'd consider it, but I gotta save for the new house.

Get a video with sound and post that up.

Do loud raped apes attract the attention of Allentown's finest?

No sir, loud is fine. Loud and weaving through traffic will get a cherry lit up on you.

Plus you get vintage points will the police. I did have it at one hooters night at Blackmans cycle and got a lot of attention. The bike wasnt even running lol.

Yea, I was pretty shocked when I saw the bikes in Indy, right up my alley. I really like the bike but I need to thin the herd for my move to Floride for my masters asap :(

Ender, wheres the pics?

Thanks for the comments guys!

Of the bug? In a few weeks after I sell the Buell Blast I picked up I will have shots of the 66.

Does the blast run good? Wanna trade bikes :) If I can get a reliable modern bike for commuting to work I wouldnt need the money seeing as Im not having any luck selling my gas guzzing Jeep.
