        Looks like a hinge on the front of the seat - in case you decide the tire would be more comfortable.

        Why I hate the words "bobbed" and "bobber".

        Lovely rear brake line.

          Why the rear shocks on a hardtail?

            I did not see those, because they're attached to the seat. Would that make it comfy?

              For what they're sprung for...might as well be a hardtail

                What the hell is holding up the rear end?





                Are the rigid swingarm mounts just not installed yet? I see the centerstand is down, but geez, is there any thought behind this hack job? What bike is that square swingarm and rear wheel off of, anyway?

                "I have a custom 1982 Suzuki GS 450 TX Cafe Racer project that I have put a lot of money into and I recently got my interest back into VW Bugs."

                If you have a spare VW and live anywhere near Spokane, this could be yours.

                  Kinda notice how these hackers have a short attention span?
                  Like only as long as their meth stash lasts?

                    A lot of it is that these nitwits out "engineer" themselves. They chop themselves into a corner and don't have the skill/knowledge/intelligence to figure out a solution, so they give up, write an optimistic ad on CL and hope for someone as dumb as them to come along.

                    Its a monoshock conversion. You can see the end of link dangling under the SA in front of the wheel. Looks like some mark of 90's Katana.

                      I dont see a shock absorber in there. Must have forgotten that part.

                        It is but just as black and grimy as the rest of the bike.

                          It kinda looks like stuff from the 89-97 Katana, but I can't make out his shock mount, looks weak.
                          Yeah, probably somebody who's been on here - briefly, and got stumped with his project.
                          He could easily weld shock mounts on the steel swing arm, that'd be cool.

                            What is sad is that there is a never-ending supply of C/L funnies for us to enjoy. Here is another that misrepresents reality. If I had a dime for every time someone claimed their bike was in great condition or like new and the pictures show aftermarket exhaust/paint/parts, i'd have many dimes.





                            "... in fabulous condition...well taken care of...Transmission in prestige condition...This is a semi-project bike. You will need to replace the voltage regulator/rectifier and the attached wiring as it burned up"

                            Can't...stop...laughing...

                              I hate when that happens.

                                Why the Frig' does a wet sump engine have what looks like an oil tank? Where is the oil returning from to drain out the bottom to the sump? Did he re-route the oil lines that went to the head for the cams to the tank?
