    Yep looks great, although I would have preferred a narrow fork, it looks a bit off in combination with the ape’s.

      @Dmart  That was the first thing I noticed and I didn’t like them.  I like them a little more every time I look at them and I think it’s because I haven’t seen a combo like that before.  Narrow glide or Springer forks would be better in every instance, but sometimes rules are meant to be broken…

      @Alex and @Olly did a great job with the new IH bike…I didn’t love everything on it, but it is growing on me.  Follow the pack or choose your own path…and it’s the reason I love motorcycles, everyone makes them their own.

      Now if someone gave the bike to me, I definitely wouldn’t say no  😃

        😃 😃

        I really like this bike though and keep coming back to look at it…

        Love that too. Mine's always gonna have narrow t bars on it - it just makes sense.

        Stop thinking and start fucking doing..

                Yep, a springer would have been great!

                @Bfd70 I love it! I need one for my buddy and me, this would be so awesome! How is he liking it?

                  He loves it. Jumps right in. 2 slow rides around the neighborhood then off to the races. He always liked car rides so that was probably a good indicator. Goggles took about 3 weeks and 2 steaks.

                        Feel like I'm using my saddlebag just to get my UHF to work  😃
                        Between the jacket and XHSib I felt pretty darn armored on the commute today, can't beat a high of 67 and not a cloud in the sky.  Scrambler has been an absolute blast

                          Sorry to sully this thread.

                          Taking me back to my late teens/early twenties; crap scooters, crap roads, no known rules of the road…...

                          Back then, it was Greece, now it is Indonesia.....

                              I will continue the light motorcycle theme. My neighbour is a very nice elderly chap with a thing about mopeds. He was mucking around with this when I went out today. 1968 build by a now defunct Norwegian manufacturer.

                                Fantastic pictures and I’m sure some pretty good stories from those two.

                                          By popular request… well by @goosehd , Pics of my 78 Yamaha IT175.

                                          Bought it in bits an an eBay project last winter (as we know.. never buy a bike in bits!.. its all there - nothings missing, honest!) Just the wrong forks, front wheel, Carb etc…

                                          I rebuilt engine, new seals/bearings etc. Powder coated frame, zinc/cerakoted various bits. Sourced a new fueltank from the US and managed to get loads of parts from a UK importer of used old bikes from the states.

                                          It runs a treat - nothing low down - then bam,  the 34mm mikuni main jet kicks in and the thing flies.

                                          Ive done a little off-roading on it this summer, but have a Husky FE350 for the proper dirty work!
