Proposed Big Twin body kit for 650? A question for you
Hello members
My name is Phil Little. I created the Street tracker and Manx conversion kits for 650s when I owned Omars Dirt Track Racing. I have a new body kit called the Storm, and you can see it on my new site Phil Little Racing.com. But that is not why I write.
I am thinking of making another new kit for 650 Specials to look like a big twin Harley. Do you think it would sell?
This kit would very modestly priced (under $1000) because it would be only two full fenders, side covers which would be part of a wide Harley-like saddle. I would have customers use the stock tank to keep things cheap. I might do a front valance kit which would cover the upper forks and trees, surround the stock light and graduate into a very low fairing which would cover the stock gauges. The idea is to take a stock stock bike with stock suspension and by cutting the rear loop, just bolt on a bunch of body parts for a complete change of appearance.
I see nothing like it 'out there' which means my idea is completely dumb or has merit. That's why you are involved. Tell me how smart or stupid I am. Thanks
