Sorry, been done before. Just for laughs, years ago I grafted an orphan 250 Benelli 2 smoke into a Suzuki trail bike frame, a TS250 from memory. Hardtailled it, raked the front, 'stole' a seat from a Honda Rebel from somewhere and rode it to work every day for about six months before some Benelli collector spotted it and bought it for the motor.Originally posted by psycoreefer View Post
It was the most gawd awful thing to ride and it looked even worse but hey, it was mine and it was beautiful Like I said before "even monsters need lovin". It's actually one of the reasons I dont like hardtails today. I'll go back through all the old photo's, the ones on actual film, and see if I can find one to scan.
Good luck with your new purchase but I gotta ask, what really made you buy it? Curiosity? or maybe something to do with the reefer part of your name
