I thought my Honda 750 had an oil tank behind the side cover. It's been near 40 years, so I may be thinking of something else.

"Yew just supplie me with sum saws all blades and sum guud beer and I'll git er done" Haha
Would be nice if he showed some examples of the bikes he built.
He cant get it running but he will bolt a bunch of crap onto it. Sounds like he plans on welding on a tail hoop, putting on a pre made cafe seat and some other bolt ons and trying to make some money. We all know that to tear a bike down to the frame and properly do a proper resto mod costs that much in parts and paint alone, not counting the months of hours we put into these stupid bikes. I can't imagine this "builder" paying as much attention to detail as we do.Comment

So for a grand you get his expertise in custom installation, but I assume not the actual custom parts themselves.
"If there are mechanical issues I am not your guy"
Ah, the fresh air of honesty. Although for a grand the custom paint probably comes with the tell-tale sound of the rattle, does it not?

How can I be in two places at once when i'm not anywhere at all?
Can I double park in a parallel universe?Comment

Also some pic of completed projects would have been nice.

1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)
Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.

He doesn't state that he's ever built a 'cafee bike" before. Only that he has "experiance". At something. But he probably looked at a few of the chop jobs on the Craigslist and recognized an opportunity to separate fools from their money.Comment
