Dunno if I ever took a pic, but there was an early Sunbeam (I think) Chopper at the Isle of Mann TT about 14 years ago.... might need to take a look for the pics, the Brits do some crazy stuff a lot of Rat Bikes (ala Mad Max) around back then.

 

this is a kawasaki.

a project i started,,no its NOT done,,maybe its sold..maybe not..i dont know and YES those bars are just for mock up purposes,.,.i had some apes,but i stole the risers for my harley...

 

heres my '76 yamaha:

and, i have a (running) '78 650 that i'm building into a cafe racer, so that takes priority

*i havent linked from starphoto in a while, so i dunno if this'll work........

I have a '78 Yamaha XS650 I'm turning into a cafe bike. I got it for $160, and am hoping to find another one to build a bobber out of.

Here's a link to my site - mostly XS650s, but there's a few "strays" as well.

 

And yes, if anybody has a stock, running late '70's XS650 like above in LA for sale, I'm very interested in it!!!

 

any pics of the cafe bike?
