Poor guy spent a lot of money doing this, probably. WHile I will say, it looks nice, it does NOT look right. It just doesn't "work".

That tank on that bike looks incomplete without the side covers to finish the shape of the "body".It needs a different tank(or at least serious mods) and some spoke wheels

Yeah, no spokes makes it look wrong, and though I've seen many cafes without side covers, they looked good because of the frame shape. It didn't leave a hole big enough to carry a spare tire when removed. lol

He just was not willing to give up that gas tank.
Also the big instruments need to be lowered and that headlight needs to be lowered or changed.
Here is a quickie Photoshop fix.

That's a little better, but that gap in the frame still looks bad when it looks big enough to carry a spare tire.

I was thinking no side covers on my bike, and putting the electronics under the seat to have room for a big ol oil tank. Maybe a separate fuel tank in the area too, thinking efi lately.....
Why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to god one of these days, I just kick this piece of shit out the window.

I would love to do efi on mine. Maybe some efi throttle bodies so I don't need to do extensive head mods. That would be sweet, and think of how smooth it would run ALL THE TIME! :)

I like what Donald did with that pic.Donald,you're right about lowering the instruments,too.That makes a big difference.I like the open frame look on alot of bikes.But not every bike looks good done the same way.Variety is the spice of life! I have to admit that EFI is very nice and convenient,but for me,taking the carbs off would kill the fun of my bike.I like things as simple as possible.The magic of a carburetor will never lose its appeal to me.But I am glad to have electronic ignition vs the stock points.That part doesnt show...i guess im a big poser

That one is nice, but the frame shape is different. That triangle just in front of the rear wheel is MUCH smaller than on the blue one. This one looks "right". IMHO
