There is to much missing, for me to want to be seen on that thing. You could get a parts bike or sell it for parts. Any money you put in that bike will be lost unless you restore it. The chopped frame could be repaired, but would be impractical, because if you had to weld back in, you would use t

Yes, I didn't chop the frame at all just the rear fender, it looked like the rear turn signals mount to the fender so I don't think it would require cutting the frame to relocate them forward, might need to weld on a bracket though. On Fri, Apr 13, 2012 at 9:37 AM, Joey Kelley wrote: > Allen, >

I thought that myself, thus my decision to go "courier." Basically, café with luggage of a harder sort. Plan to color match cases and such, and go with the more angular style to match the angles on the very 80s 650. It won't be /quite/ true to cafe standards, but it will definitely show cafe influe

All replaceable, fairly easily. But once you start cutting frame and chopping and bobbing, it can't go back. Put me in the "no bobber" camp. The 650 I'm making a summer project needs all the stuff you mentioned plus forks. I'm going "courier" with it, cafe inspired but nothing irreversible in case
