If you got rid of the mudguards, solo seat and turnout mufflers, replaced them with stock OEM equivalents, tweaked the paintwork a bit...you would have a classic superbike.Comment

Harley bits on a Yamaha...??? Not sure who should be more offended, the Hardley crowd or us..
Guess it'd be called a Yardley, or a Hamaha..
Wouldn't give him tuppence for it but 10 points for effort though, I kinda like the paint job and modding the front fender cant have been easy.1980 SG. (Sold - waiting on replacement)

I don't like where it says "custom" on the tank. Kinda dumb, seeing as how you can tell it's a custom.Richard

Well, somebody had a 'vision' (or maybe a hallucination) but I'd personally only give them a B for fab skills, a C- for styling, and a F for practicality...
There's three major things wrong with this bike; one, you'll have to remove the rear fender to get the rear wheel/tire off. Two, that hugely oversized front fender will probably hit the frame/exhaust/lower tree if you compress the front suspension much, a safety issue. Three, it's missing the right front caliper, a big safety issue given how the stock brakes are only 'adequate' if everything is there and working right.
The Harley guys wouldn't be offended, they'd only laugh and point...

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The fenders will certainly do their proper job of keeping the road crud off the bike & rider and you don't know if the complete rear cladding don't come off with 4 bolts like a Royal Enfield's to access the rear wheel, eh?
Or if the front fender hits without you take a test ride, neither.
Gotta admit, someone needs a bitch-slap for omitting that brake caliper and for leaving the signals off, too.
As for the Harley Guys, they'd most likely ask what year the motor company made an in-line 4 and where could they get one.Fred Hill, S'toon

I don't knwo why nut it reminds me of a lady wearing a tube top and the bottom half of on evening gown. Like it started off up top as a bobber/rat type bike, but then the fenders came in like its a full dresser.
Not for me anyway, but someone loves it! Ain't that what beer is all about!Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

Had no noticed that, but yes i says it needs tuned. Also note what he considers a low reserve, is more than most of these fetch in really nice stock condition!Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

sorof, looks like a red headed stepchild, for looks i think its odd looking, and the custom work just don't fit. but they are some one that would like to get their hands on it and think he's got a harley. probally bring more money if it was stock. i like the color tho. he's probally gettin rid of it because its time to change the rear tire.79 xs 1100 spec & 80 xs 1100 gComment
