I like the upsidedown clubmans. I knew they'd work like that.

[Vegerito]

first, whats an upside down clubman lol, and thanks for all the comments ! yea i need new tires bad, the rear is splitting down the middle i dont think it is near roadworthy at all, thats my next buy

He's referring to the handle bars on your bike. Commonly known as clubmans (or ace bars in Aust) they are usually put on up the other way so they drop down nice and low like 'clip-ons'.
They were a common way to create a 'cafe' bike from a stock road bike in the olden days.

oh lol, i just took some scrap material and made my handle bars ^_^

All of these recent cafe/rat bike postings are making me want to start a cafe/rate GS project! Stop it!

[ron bayless]

that bike looks great.My bike is going to be so much like yours,now i might have to change mine.Except,i would never have those kind of handlebars,i am too old and stiff to lean over that far.Those pipes must really be loud.I dont like the stock upswetp originals,yours with some baffles are more what i want.I am glad to see what i had visioned come to life.Keep up the good work.

[Vegerito]

hahaha thanks ! i love the way it turned out, not bad for like 2 days of work hehe, just ran out this afternoon and welded some mounds so the seat attaches to the bike, also, anyone know of a high flow, inline on off valve ? i made a petcock that is high flow, super high flow, and works great with just the fuel line, but i need an inline on off switch, i have an in line on off switch on there now but its for a smaller fuel size so its not that great hehe
