custom 850

Ran across this vid on youtube today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zluRu...eature=related

Perhaps old news but I thought it was interesting, particularly the wheel modification a little later in the video

The only thing I don't like about that build is the new bodywork. Not sayin' he should have left it stock, I just don't like what he used. All the rest of that should be applicable to my 1000.

Huh, cant do that to no 850!!

It's not about looks, is it?
Good thing.

[Guest]

LMAO..
Of course it is.
Course, the 850 in any form is an absolute hoot to ride.
One of the funnest(is that a word?) bikes I've ever owned.

I think that the only thing that look wrong is the exhaust.or all the exhaust he tried.The pic of the rear wheel skeleton is great for idea...

The bodywork looks goofy. Kinda Busa-ish, or something.
Still though, its good to see a modded 850 shafty.

I like it. Any idea on what kind of wheels he put in there. I thought it was pretty hard to put wheels from a chain driven to a shafty. I guess its possible, but how tough is it?

Based on the slides shown, it seems you'd need to be a wiz at welding cast aluminum bits of wheel to each other. It looks like he welded the shaftie hub into a newer wheel.
