    Was thinking a couple of sheep, or a goat maybe. Wifes animal mad so i'd get away with it and she'd clean up after it/them.

      Lateral thinking

      I love it. Sheep are less likely to eat every thing in sight and when it gets cold again you can have them for lunch. Any prized flowers need to be well fenced or you might not get away with "it"

        hell yes...

        This is the type of projects I'd be swept up in if I had the facilities (tools, welding skills, limitless shop space) to do whatever I want. Bravo for doing something original. I like a one-of-a-kind project as much as I admire a mint-original piece.

            pics of it with my nearly done fender and different tank.
            Also got my exhaust bends in the mail, Yayy...
            The tank looks way better, lower profile, fits closer to the front so it doesn't hang of the frame.

            The old blue tank is off of a XS850, it didnt fit right.

                I'm sorry, but the cooling shield on the engine MUST be painted black! Looks great so far! keep us informed.

                    What if I said it was a perfectly operational bike? so I took it apart for the fun of this.

                      Started today by making some exhaust flanges.



                      Then I started cutting and fitting my bends.

                          More exhaust work today, Got it all tacked together,
                          From where it stops, I'm running the two pipes back to about where the jackshafts are, then put turn outs on the ends.
