      @goosehd:

      @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  😃

      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.

                    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.

                              Start of my 78 shovelhead project. Definitely going to take a few years for this one.

                                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!

                                    @Baba-san Fantastic motorcycle and it looks beautifully redone!  …and there’s nothing like hitting the powerband.  :). Thanks for the pictures and restoring this beauty!
