Alrighty I like it a lot. What a ridiculous hideous seat! Wouldn't take much to offend everyone else with it too. Sunday I spoke with a fella on a minimalist honda 750 chopper and admiring the hard tail frame when he told me he had exact frame all ready to accept a Norton Commando cradle power unit. I was out on Trixie is how he knew what to say. Gave him my card to call me back on it. It would be center of attention where ever it went but at Norton rallys would have to be waxed good all over to shed the eggs and drinks thrown at it...
That's the way the majority of the "custom" bikes looked where I grew up.
I'd like to have it - just to offend the purists.
from experience I know that a bike is next to impossible to ride with those type of handlebars,
they act like a tiller on a boat and working the throttle at that angle is hell on the wrist.
lacing up a 16 inch rear rim was the hot ticket back then.
I think with a little work (and some different parts) I could make a pretty cool bike out of it

Hehe what a posture to offend onlookers including a flaunt at police checking bar heights. Every now and then though a big twin choppy blunders though with a gal funneling the wind through her joint fur. Apreciate the seasoned wisdoms on creature comfort Mark so maybe the HyRyder bars given me would work a treat. If'n it was mine it have twin headers following the lines of the sissy throne seat all the way to the top. Front drum brake would have to go too for tiny spindle hub. I'd put on an Indian type springer fork, the kind that look like half a truck rear leaf spring sticking out ahead. The chopper I got intimate with a few times had a molded frame like pin stripe art in 3D metal. Ms Peel is more a bobber with a chopper sloped stance, so on her rear loop, under the alloy milk crate holder rack with state famous ole motto

I liked those hippie chicks, cotton dresses no bras or underwear . . . . .
