English style riding.
Western style.
It appears to carry over to motorcycles.
Look at chu, Bob! Ya beat me to the "Alligator"! Feet forward? Check. Ass on the ground?..... No 
. Just imagine having your feet up on highway pegs, only, full-time. Kickin' back in comfort.

The exhaust system that came on "The Basketcase" from the (dreaded) P.O. looks similar to the Delkevic 2-into1 system, as sold by Mikes, and should clear the forward control set-up. The pegs location should be sufficiently above, and "outboard" so as to avoid a hotfoot situation, without being so far out as to cause problems leaning into turns. Besides, I'm a cruiser, not a carver...

Cool Tebo! Yeah I want it all! Daylong, even for the old man, riding position, awesome brakes, handling AND cornering clearance! the 17" wheels with low profile tires have the frame sitting pretty low, don't know where I can run those pipes to meet all the goals. Tire sidewall height is one way to work the numbers a bit.
Easy come
easy go
Now where was I again?

Look what the cat drug home!
Huh? What? Where'd that come from? Could that be the foundation for a feet-forward, low-rider style bobber? Slam it! I dare you! 
Not a Creasey/Gurney type, just an easier-to-throw-a-leg-over style....

I swear I can hear the poor, cold, lonely, XS's calling to me in my sleep.
No carbs, no gauges, or any of the locks. But kicks with compression, and has a title!

OK - what the heck is that? I am pretty sure that I see a belt drive but it sure doesn't look like an H-D and the old Kawasaki belt bikes had the drive on the left side....
Hmmmmm......

Could that be some sorta Beeyooell?
Looks like the Guzzi to me.
That appears to be a Buell Thunderbolt. The only touring version i believe Buell ever made. AMIRIGHT?
Couple bees buzzed close to the bud.
The guzzi is long gone.
Recently did an all nighter to Cleveland and back to get this 2000 S3 Buell but a bud saw it and........
The trip to get the 79 special yesterday darn near ended with the van full to overflowing with XS parts; engines, frames, wheels, carbs etc etc. prolly only cold weather and oldguyitis saved me (so far) from loading up a collection.
It was on a "local" CL for stupid cheap crying to be rescued.
