Sorta Nifty depending on what you like..
« on: March 13, 2015, 01:22:54 PM »
Saw ad for this bike in Anderson, SC....pricey...maybe a bit butchered in the exhaust functions, but in my eyes, a bit neat.....just for fun..

no legit title... not worth the effort... even when they say its clean...

just keep looking at it... perhaps it will reveal to you the real story why it was bastardized then sold twice with no legit title...

Johnny, thank you for wise counsel..I should have explained that I was posting it for general interest only and I have no intention of looking into it...My only goal was to show an unusual "chop job" which in some ways seemed ok, but for example, butchered exhaust system looks shabby..

Can't believe the guy says "crap ton" in the ad. That's what my 17-year-old stepdaughter says since we told her she can't say "shitload."

I like it, K's don't lend themselves to the cafe look and this one does better than most.  The muffler could have been done better IMHO.

Wonder what kind of tubing that is between the front of the muffler and the engine?
