Pretty sketchy stuff......
So, does it have front leafs AND springs in the forks?
Yeah I was wondering the same would be a strange and bouncy ride, unless the springs inside the forks are gone.

That thing on the front of the motor, connected to the generator (cover) looks like an Osterizer blender....
Oh he!! - I guess you’ve already got one.
Dammit.

Maybe you should transfer the title from PO to Allison?
Like, black front end, black headlight, looks old.
Like, alternator/generator conversion, if it was real.
Like, seat, if it was black and level, can't have enough fringe.
Like, fender stays, should be black.
Like, 2M, I like long fringe on brake and clutch levers, but not on grips.
Like, that white panel painted on the tank.
Like, it sure takes a good picture.
Dislike, Those pipes are just too goofy.
Dislike, that side cover just jumps out at you.
Dislike, mono shock, that bike should be a hard tail.
Dislike, forward controls.
Dislike, white paint on the nice red fenders.
Dislike, all of the fake hardware.

Dat seat tho ..... wow. Does it recline?
Shame on you, XJ !
No politics is the rule at this forum.
The builder's creative spirit is undeniable.
Perhaps it is best categorized as an Art Bike.
I've got a spot for it in my front lawn.
Kemosabe!
Wouldn't it be Tonto? But probably not politically correct anymore. How about silver?
or...
The origin of Tonto's horse, Scout, is less clear. For a long time, Tonto rides a white horse called White Feller.
gggGary...it needs to be converted to your rural mailbox..........make it happen
OK Mr. B - now YOU made me snort....
Where the heck is Downeaster when ya need him?
Oh crap, replaced the fuse box with a radio shack unit I had laying around, unwrapped the tape mess up front but changed NOTHING.
Stupid thing started second kick, Runs great, and it's even quiet through those sporty muffs.
Guess what that means??
Yup, I gotta RIDE it,
gulp.....

Need more info and pics on that faux generator set-up. Is it Briggs&Stratton? Really curious about that.

5T You have NO idea of who you are dealing with!
It went around the country block "just fine". It might need a little tweaking before riding it to the vintage Yamaha rally in North Carolina this fall.
