    Poor man dual sport bike, GS400e

    Hi, I don't remember if I posted my poor man dual sport bike here, winter 2024 project, build from leftovers. Hardest part was making the air box for.I wish I had a 3d printer and a 3d scanner.

      Nice work, Marc.
      I see a head light and tail light. Street legalish?

        A buddy of mine made something similar. He even went long distance on this thing - 2 up.

          Hi Steve, yes plated and like you said street legalish... electric are off a gs500, easier to find, newer and cheaper! not much $ invested in it, it was more time consuming
