why the harley colors?

[urbanrider51]

@seafood360 Good question. The tank and seat unit were like that when I bought it. 2 owners prior to me it was painted like that and I can only assume he was a HD fan but couldn't afford one!

The work I did was to completely re-wire the bike, fabricate the headlight, powder coat the frame and wheels and a few other small bits.

@urbanrider51 Couldnt afford one??? Dude... I dont knowabout your country but these are seriously saught after bikes only 10 are for sale in NSW in australia I can find.... Ima buy one... 6-7 grand for a decent clean one........ These are more expensive in comparrison to Harleys n I reckon they sound as good if not better... and WAY more reliable!

how did you hook up the back wheel?.... dont they come with a 16" wheel? did you have to adapt a xs 750 or 1100 rear wheel with an adaptor for the sprocket?? do tell

[urbanrider51]

@emma072203 Yes, the original is 16", you can get a conversion kit quite easily. I just can't find a link right now!

@emma072203 those are xs500 wheels they had the same mag wheels as the 750 but were a chain drive bike.
