Ok, here is the most current photo of my project.
I have a little bit of work left to do before it gets stripped for paint, polish, and powder coating. The color scheme is going to be gunmetal and silver. It's got a stretched and braced swingarm, modified seat rails, battery box on the swingarm, Mikuni 34mm VM carbs, Boyer ignition, hydraulic clutch, forward controls, Ural headlight, and a few other things here and there. I need to get this done so I can
Here is me putting my new knowledge to use.
I really like the back fender on that thing. I want it.

How the hell does this thing go?My other bike: [ATTACH=full said:270227[/ATTACH]
I think it has an air lift that raises to go and lowers to park. If not, I can't see riding it at all.

I'm not usually a big fan of springer front ends but that one I really like. Nice bike!

That is a nice looking 650. What is up with that right side cover???? What can you tell us about that?

I think you're probably looking at my homemade stash tube held on with 2 stainless steel hose clamps just behind the side cover. It's where I keep the registration, inspection and insurance cards just in case the man wants to see them.
I made it from two old medicine bottles (the kind with the child proof caps) epoxied inside a piece of PVC pipe with a 1/4" spacer between the stash tube and the frame to give me room to turn the lids. Keeps everything dry and easy to get to.
PS. Perhaps you were referring to BlacksmithBilly instead?

Blacksmithbilly is a humble guy and might not tell you that he built that springer from scratch.
