Hi Fireplug and welcome,Originally posted by Fireplug View Post
only some of us are purists.
My take is you gotta do what you gotta do to put an old bike back on the road.
Or to upgrade it's performance.
Hardtailing is not an upgrade.Fred Hill, S'toon

Yep, don't care for hardtails in general, but I'm not dead set against someone doing that to their ride as long as the do a "good" job of it. What I mean is that it's a professional looking job with good quality and clean welds (these don't always go together).Cy

Hey all. Thanks for the welcome. I'm working on getting the pics. As for the hardtail, i certainly haven't ruled it out. However, for the time being im going more for the cafe/bobber look n feel. Nothing tooo crazy for now.2005 Honda VTX 1300 c

im also with you guys on the personal preferences, when i ride with others the only thing i care about is that they [ OR MYSELF] can keep up. I believe that the coolest bikes out there are the ones that have been modified by its owner/rider. That is not to say that I dont appreciate a good stock bike.2005 Honda VTX 1300 c
