Put a seat and fender on the damn thing and ride it. Girder and all. That's a great find.

yea well putting the seat and fender on alls good and was gonna go that way but im just to fuckin short to reach the controls,so that sucks.just keeping the motor tranny tank and maybe the bars.ive got a ton of shit waiting to be used if i came up with something like this

starting to mock up.at the shop for fab work,a little stainless hoop for fender,controls and a better way to mount the tank than just threading the backbone like the old frame

If you see bikes like that everyday I am moving to Texas! Its really weird how turning a motorcycle into something that is more ride able is trendy. Maybe its because these trendy bikes are being ridden!

I dig pans, and think it is pretty hard to fuck up a Pan....looks fine to me either way. Personally...if i wanted better fuel consumption, handling and ergonomics---I'd buy a fucking Honda. An elec starter and a hand clutch/foot shift would be easier too---not ragging on your scoot at all---just throwin it out there

Not understanding the message here, is this new age internet tough talk?

well not that i need to justify anything here but i bought this bike for the motor/tranny.after 4-5 yrs of looking here for one w/ good paper i grabbed it.it was cheap enough and will leave me w/ enough parts to sell when im done for other shit.if anyones got a hard time for what im doing pony-up some $$$,buy the rest of it and return it its 70s glory.it was indeed cool the way it was,just not what i wanted.
