      @irishexpat:

      I'm hoping to get my license this summer and pick up an old xs650 once the riding season ends. As a past Jeep owner, I'm addicting to tinkering with things that have wheels.

      Over the winter I don't know if I'll go cafe or chopper…but I want to do something.

      so much aftermarket support for those little machines
      ive got a few buddies with them
      one chopped out and another getting ready too

      don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!

              A lot of the aesthetic (bars, seat, pipes, etc) wouldn't be hard to do, but the 15" rear tyre and lengthened swing arm are probably beyond me and they're a big part of what's so awesome about that bike.  I'd like to come up with a cross between that and the Spirit of the Seventies T100, which is a bit similar.

                      uh, yes, different would describe it… i guess you need to innovate and look forward to survive - but i'm too old - i won't be going electric unless internal combustion engines are banned in the U.S.

                        I've always liked the 100th anniversary paint scheme.  I had a 100th sporty that I regret getting rid of.

                                        I have to admit an electric harley really seems immediately repulsive but then again I also don't like rubber engine mounts, suspensions of any kind, or any feature whatsoever that makes motorcycles more practical and safer so my opinion should probably be discounted.

                                          isn't your evo rubber mounted?

                                            Evo's are rubber mounted generally but no that engine is not rubber mounted in my paughco frame.
