    If I owned this, I would...

    • Change the seat. This style of bike is not about comfort and that seat is too fat by at least half... possible cafe racer hump at the back or just flat bratsyle.
    • Change the tail light number plate mounting. It is not a bobber and the plate needs to be up by the rear guard. Query legality in current position.
    • Change the headlight mount. The rule is top of headlight level with top of tank. a 5 inch HID headlight might fit and might look OK.
    • Change the handlebars: Fat bars? No. Clubman or flat. Maybe superbike bend (Renthal street bars) Fat bars are for MX bikes (or Street Triples... ;-) )
    • Probably change out the stock speedo and tacho for a Motogadget all in one or similar. We dont need that visual bulk up front.


    I rang the guy who sold it the first time it went round on tardme: the commissioning owner had an incredible amount of money in it and did his dough in a big way.

    I reckon its worth about $8k as it sits.

    One of you bastards needs to hook me up.

    By the way, it is a tribute to one of the OK (but not genius) Wrenchmonkees bikes: hence the colour scheme and number:

    This is cool, but its no Gorilla Punch or Club Black:

    Club black for me thanks.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Seat looks ok to me, I agree with the other changes.
