nice looking bikes, whatcha going to do to it and does it have a name yet?

 

[Lonzol]

Busa, yes it is my Harley, my go to work bike now, the original "Blackie" Nice looking Raider you got there! I got the Rocket to build up for me and the wife, she got tired of me working on bikes all the time and her never getting to ride. So I promised when I bought the Rocket I would make it into a "tourer" for both of us to ride, but still not a cookie cutter bike. I'm sure not used to installing GPS, Stereo, intercom, CB etc., but I made a promise and she loves riding with me so it serves it's purpose. I truley wish I could just buy a bike and ride it, just can't find one unlike anyone else's like that, plus their never black enough!

Lonzol,just lookin at that faring on the rocket again.Have you got any more picts of it. Mabey a side shot? Looks just perfect.Iam getten into the blacked out look lately to.Costs less to do and thats right up my Frugal (read cheap skate) alley. Reg, got both fenders on the way for this winters amusement in the basement. John M what country did what come from ? ME,I came from my mother but she won't admit it. Lonz when I bring a new bike home the first thing I do is remove the rear seat and the wife says now where do I sit and I say In the living room. You'll understand when you get older.Ha Later Jack

Busa,
Here's a side shot, I was real pleased with how the bottom and rounded part of the fairing matched up with the tank. I hear what your saying about the wife and the living room, trouble is that is what I've been saying up to now! Ha! She laid down the law on this one!



Here's one all packed up for the road.



Later, Lonnie

Busa,
One other question, I'm thinking about building a storage/tool box located where the stock Cat box was. Need to fill in that void, looks funny especially from the left side where I have no exhaust pipe now. Is that what you had on Spike? Looks like you had something there?
Thanks, Lonnie

I had wanted to use that space also just never got around to it. Here you see I just made an alum. piece (black) to kinda cover the starter and uglys down there.Bolted my sunglasses case to the plate to carry small items.Lots of usable space under there.
That faring (and whole Bike) is the best thing I have ever seen. Now you show me this,gona have to get spike back or start over new.So many toys so little time.AHA Jack

 

[busajack]

Sorry for this pict. again but its the best pict. I've ever had and if this antique puter crashes I can get it back. BJC
