That is one rad setup! You’re the epitome of cool @Bfd70

Coming from you! Swoon:)

@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

Sunday ride into town for the entire family…

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! -
Pleasure Gents… I have more restorations that I've completed.
Let me get some more images together and i'll add them to the thread

Beautiful job on lthe 175 @Baba-san ! I look forward to your other resto jobs, great stuff.
