    Hi Ben, looks fairly special to me. Other than the custom dented tank just needs a handlebar to return to stock with a paintjob.

        Not really a fan of the cafe look for our Elevens, but this looks like a nice bike.

          Does it have the standard seat and rear cowl or was that made? I like it.

            In looking at the pictures it appears that he has removed the rear fender and has installed a seat/cowl off a 78/79 standard on the bike. Can't tell from the pictures but I imagine he has attached a brake/taillight onto the cowl. I like the paint scheme he used on the tank but I wonder about those two indents What I thought looked odd was the front fender, I think it is off something other than a special. It would probably not take much to return it to stock with the biggest issue correcting the tank dimples.

              It looks like he turned that front fender backwards. It looks like the one on my special just maybe turned around. I am sure the tank was for the bars so they wont hit. I like it.
