Could it fit in a Dodge B-250 cargo van? That's my company bike transport vehicle. I've fit many different adventure bikes, sport bikes and cruisers in there. I would think anything below a goldwing or harley road kind would fit. - so yes, we could work something out if the bike in question could fit.

Little bit of progress. Installed a surplus D&D exhaust pipe i had laying around. I had to cut a slit in the vance and hines megaphone where it meets the header in order to relieve pressure enough to hammer it off. V&H really didn't want that thing coming off. The D&D muffler provides much better back pressure and a real low exhaust note.
I did a quick mock-up of the Lockhart side fairings to see how the bike would look. I discovered that the headlight bracket is bent up a bit, and some other geometry needs to be corrected. But overall i think i have a workable solution in sight.

Hmmmmm......Really a bit of a Frankenbike body wise ain't it.I was wondering if the 700 sidecovers would fit my 85(Canadian)750. Defiantly not from your pic.Glad I never tried to get a set of 700 covers for mine.

The tank is from a 750, so i've already got fitment issues with the side skirt fairings and the seat. The blue fairings were the stock ones this bike was made with. I'm gonna sand them down and re-spray before long. I'm working on restoring the original tank this bike had as well. I have it in my shop. Badly rusted on the inside and missing every part. That may be a winter project...
