I bought this project bike that was started here in Las Vegas, After i got it, I took off the front end, and shortened it about 3 1/2 inches to fix the massive amount of flop it had, also the front end was a lil crooked and caused the bike to lean in one direction so badly i think i could have doubled the size of my bicep on one side hahah! the next thing i did was get a trusty ol trailer fender and hack that up a little and made some struts, i swapped the quad carb setup for a pair of delorto twin carbs and 2 into 1 manifolds.. I also found a set of machined spikes for the motor online and added them as well.. i swapped the ape hangers, for drag bars and forward risers and a new round headlight, the final touch was borrowing my buddy Rudys rack of paint and me and him mixing up the green color scheme from scratch and topping it off with 8 coats of ici clear. I had a lot of fun on it until a guy on the east coast made me an offer i just couldn't refuse! i think this was around 1992 or 3 that it was sold, anyways check her out i wonder where she is these days....
