Great looking bike botha! I was gunna chime in and say that you where gunna need to do some welding to switch out a Standard tank into a Special frame but buying a whole new bike that comes with that tank originally always works.

Thumbs up on the red!

P.S. that oil cooler's calling my name is that a Lockhart?

Who says a big bike can't be a cafe racer? This one is 1700 cc. As the pics point out, an XS1100 can be a good one too!

Thanks. The oil cooler is a Kerker. I lucked out when I purchased the bike. It came with some decent accessories. The pods are pretty rare. Australian I think : Alphabet Ram Flo Lynx

Agreed. At 6' 4" I dwarf many cafés . Plus, it's something you don't see every day and the motor is bullet proof. Not a leak to be found and she starts every time.
