is it just me, or does anyone else share my hope that there is a particularly warm corner of hell reserved for people who do crap like this to an otherwise perfectly good motorcycle?

Just "Farkelized" , didn't really do too much with it. Created a 400 lb dirt bike with no power.

 Can't wait to "roost" over the next berm with that one.  ;D

Personally, I can't see myself take a full functional bike and café/scrambler/bobber it. However, it's your bike and you can do whatever you like.

Speaking of do whatever I want ...

I built myself a "scrambler' as well from this ...









To this ...











That was a fun project and it's a fun bike to ride.

lucky,  You are my hero. What a great looking bike brought back from the near dead. Hope to be able to do the same kind of project one of these days.
