Great site for ideas on modding your bike

[isaac]

I know that there are only like 10 people on this whole site who like modding their bikes in any significant way, but this site should prove a visual gold mine for them.

Take a look. This guy makes some very sweet rides. I just wanna know where to buy the seat foam.

Now thats a sweet site, too bad he only messes with Hondas.

That is too bad he only deals with Honda's. Those are some really cool looking bikes.

Oh come on the things are almost visually identical. What's in a name? Just a few centimeters difference here and there.

 

[Chris Daniel]

LOL.

I will tell ya though. I have always had a hankering for a kick start bike. I really dont know why but I always have after riding a friends OLD Triumph 650. More than anything else just to get rid of about half of the electrical stuff. I like minimal stuff on bikes, always have.

Anyway, I really want to build a cafe style bike. However I will have to do it with a different bike from the one I currently have.

Very cool bikes.
I think the styling cues could directly translate to the GS.
You have to keep an open mind to any make if you want to be killer. Honda, Harley, Hodaka, whatever.
I don't have to wrench on a honda to steal an idea, but I have nothing against hondas. I just don't have one right now.(read: yet)

Time, money and desire is all it ever takes. Very nice.

Nice bike. Tell me about the exhaust. I can't see it very well in the picture.

 

[chazz]

exhaust is a one off in stainless 2 into two, turn out mufflers,with 1 1/2 inch baffles,so still loud but not enough to get police notice

 

[isaac]

What'd be cool is a four into two exhaust with 1-3 and 2-4 paired so it'd have an interesting thrum from the staggered cylinders. If I ever get the pipes for it, that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

My 250 two stroke Suzuki is a fun little kickstarter.
She kicks on the left. No starter just kick.
Fun little bike. I am sure you can make a real bitchin cafe out of a mid-70's Suzuki GT.
I know there are many GT fans/owners here.
Not a bad site, even if it is a Honda.
Some feelings between brands run way deep.
It should be easier to understand race problems than to understand bike brand against each other.

I have a buddy that has a Honda. when he got it that was all he could afford. he wanted a Harley bad. he got a few parts off a buddy then stretched and raked the bike. put a set of fatbobs on with a wide tire.

you should see the looks he gets. it looks like a harley, till you get up close then there is this honda motor just sitting there in the fram.

the one in the photo looks close to his old bike. he built it back in the early 80's. not many around that were built out of hondas.
