Why only 85?

We have all seen much much worse.

Well if it's a triangle with line that leads to rear axle, I think we'd have more respect for intelligent designs like the Kawasaki Ninja 650
Idiot design is just something to ridicule.

Ninja 650

That bike is MEAN lookin'! Wow.

While I love a nicely done cafe, not cafe styled but a real cafe racer with emphasis on the racer, that one above does nothing for me. I can't for the life of me understand cutting off a useful part of the bike resulting in a worse bike to ride, for looks. Cut the rear suspension off, lower the front, take the front brake off, put on crappy prehistoric design off road tires, gay ape hanger bars, invisible lights, that kind of crap is ludicrous. Who the hell is going to be impressed by the style if it looks like ass? Who cares what it looks like while you ride if it looks like zero thought and less skill went into it? If it looks like only a moron would ride it you probably are. You can't see it while riding anyway and anyone who can see it couldn't care less.

Unless you are still trying to prove to your parents how incredibly stupid you are. (As if they didn't know already)

Maybe should have just posted the last part and been done with it...

"I haven't been a member here long, but with this forum and every other one I use (including diesel truck, etc.) you will find that the majority respect anything that is well thought out and carefully and purposefully done. If it looks half-assed and for the **** of it that is exactly the amount of respect you will get for doing it."

Right, and I was suggesting that Kawasaki rear shock design could be copied for bobber hardtails.

I would love to see more views of that fairing.

My opinion is that I wish the bike was still that way, but it is your bike. Don't take all the negative opinion to heart. Opinions are like azzholes, we all have them. I do agree that I wish is was a different model like an L that you were making look like and L. At least you have a fender to stop the rubbibg of the nads in case of slippage.

As mentioned already that will be a problem getting to run if you don't rejet the carbs and you may try a tip I got from an instructor at MMI to make some back pressure in open pipes, though that is a lot more open than what we were discussing. Take a big washer about half the diameter of the pipe and weld some all thread rod to it and a nut. Drill a hole inward of the end of the pipe and fit the piece through it and ad another nut to hold it into place, If you cut a slot in the end of the rod you can use a flat head screwdriver to turn the rod to change how much back pressure is created, then lock down the nut.
