Makes me shake my head

I picked up this 650 over the weekend. $100 parts bike. Came with a box of virago 700 parts I needed for a customers bike.

Ithought the tank looked like good material based on the pics and one can always use more Gs parts right ?

After getting to the sellers place and removing the tank I was like ?what the......?

Previous owner cut out a few tubes and welded in some others to use what appears to be a small cc Honda tank.

Whoever he was he is not allowed near welders any more

All that work to use this tank. Looks like the knee dents are pretty decent for being add by hand. Only fits a bike with a single back bone

this frame might become yard art.

All that work to be able to put on a tank that looks like it has been in a wreck?

You know. Every pic I uploaded in the thread was correctly oriented during upload. Even in the preview screen they were correct. But two came in sideways after posting. Go figure.

Put your photos on flickr or similar and then link the BB or IMG code here and they will show up in high resolution. MUCH better than the crappy forum photos here. Check my KZ build thread for examples of the photos I'm referring to.

Let me guess. Advertised as a cafe build in need of completion?

Actually the previous owner was very clear that this was a parts bike.
