"The Speed Heap" Trying to rap it up...!!

Swapmeet Louie

Put some metal in yer eye....
I love naming my bikes..Haha
Funnest part of the build, hanging out w/ a couple of buddies, couple Pabst throwing dumb names around for the sake of being a jack ass....
Anyway, This is a 71' cl350 that I had picked up from the local salvage yard. It was 100% complete and sweet doo-doo brown in all it's glory.
So far I've made the seat, moved the tank mounts to fit the 400f tank, drilled and vented the hubs, switch to an 18" front wheel w/ corresponding front fender, clubmans which I think will be temporary, marzooki rear shocks, de-tab'd the frame and painted it booty-soup green. And am in the process of making rear-sets with bmx pegs and the stock passenger peg mounts. might be running the tins el' natural, not sure yet. I'm kinda digging the way it looks. Waiting on a few goodies for the motor to arrive and it should be back in next week. We'll see? Oh, and The headlight is from a early Benelli- I think
The tank and seat are just resting there, everything is just finger tight for now.
Thanks for looking...

No boots for me... I prefer me some whine-O's or chucks. I cant walk in anything that has a heal when I'm wasted...
 
Re: The other project... "The Speed Heap"

Looks cool like the seat and tank combo. What'cha gonna do for an exhaust? Keep it up lookin good.

The exhaust I made before I tore it apart. Its a 2 into 1 equal length header that dumps into a F1 can under the bike. Kinda like a buel.

Thanks for all the compliments fellas ^^^^^^^

Ya it was the stock tank from El' Macho Borracho. sectioned 2.5" to narrow it up.
 
Re: The other project... "The Speed Heap"
