Ill paypal you 3 bucks if you put different wheels on that bike
I'll send you fifty if you can get me a rear wheel that'll fit without a swingarm/final drive conversion...
I may fake a solid rear wheel on this with two rounds of aluminum if I put a different front end on.
I'll Paypal you another $3 to put a square headlight on it with an HID bulb in it.
If that shows up wrapped around the headlight, you're on. One way or another the big 'krome' one is coming off.
Only slightly more seriously:
The CB750F tank's bottom line actually works nicely with the Virago backbone frame, and I'm going to extend that line down toward the swingarm and run a brace from it for a solo seat. It needs to go lower than my fancy carboard mockup, and I need to look at how much room I can make underneath it in order to put the battery inside. I will need to weld a big U-shaped bracket to the backbone to hold the tank in place and will need to make sure it can clear a battery.
On the fence right now as to whether I'm going to mock everything up and then take it to a friend's shop to weld or go pick up the cheapy flux-core wire welder that's on sale at Harbor Freight right now - half because it would be nice to be able to do quick weld repair at home (and there is zero chance of upgrading my electrical / purchasing a nicer welder in the medium term) and half because I think that a bike like this should really be put together with a HF welder.
Anyway I'm going to put my sawzall away and laugh at myself for a while.
