Need to whack them handlebars about 6 feet lower, somebody's gonna look stupid trying to ride down the road like that. Drag bars would look a lot better on that bike, and 'ya might even be able to control it...

janjon would you consider rewording you comments.

Please remember to respect every one's option to have their own creative views. That is how new ideas and concepts get discovered and developed

I think it is an art piece. I like it.

Remember there are very few rules here but I do have this one

"There are not may “Rules” that I would impose. However please no cussing, cussing just shows a lack of knowledge in the use of the English Language. You can express your feelings without cussing. Be respectful of other members. Everyone has a right to their opinions, and a right to do it differently then you might. No camping on. Think about making your userID something meaningfully or representative of what you stand for."

i like this style better than a frame with a high neck and long front end which is pretty much the same thing your just getting the bars up there higher with the frame instead of apes ....  im also 6'4'' and fit this bike fine , i built it for me , as you can see it only has 1 seat , its for me , no one else . so i dont care what others think becuase im very comfortable on it . and it also handles very well , its no rice rocket , but i can cruise thru the hills of our area at a pretty good clip i cant give you a mph becuase there isnt a speedo on it ... but o well .

Steve, you bet it's a Honda V-twin water-cooled motor. A turbo version was offered for a short time (Honda CX500 Turbo).

Yes, it was Honda's attempt to copy the Moto Guzzi

This is what it looked like when he started, and if you look closely the next project is on the left in the rear shot and the back half has already been cut off.

It is but I believe there is reliance here as the projects still involves working with tubes, configuring suspension, keeping things lite. Who knows what might transferee, it certainly isn't flower pots.

Some of my most memorable drag racing was on a two wheeler. My first dragbikes were turbocharged inline four cylinders. The last bike was built in Buffalo NY by Jim DiTullio " Puppet". I ran it in NHRA PSB in 1992. I haven't found much that translates to my FED.
