Re: The Detroit Not-o-Rama: You Knew There Would Be a Chopper Involved
Yuk. I haven't been a fan of those gas tanks since the early 70s. SOHC Honday inline motor is probably functional and from what you can see of the bike it's not built "terribly". It probably handles like a 500lb set of barbells hanging on a broom stick.
But why?

Crappy flames. My #1 pet peeve is if you can't tape off decent flames pay somebody else to. Like me. Other than that, it's a cool 70's relic with it's plunger-type frame and coffin tank. Definately not something that was originally built in the chopper "boom" of late. Especially with the alternate power source that was very popular way back when.

The Savior frame and coffin tank is real period stuff from the era in the 70s when CB750 chops were a hot trend, but this bike looks like someone tried to "modernize" it, thus making it thoroughly suck. What that bike needs is a flake job, 20-over springer and a King and Queen seat with a whacked-out sissy bar.

As Paul Teutel Sr. might say "not enough IDEARS" on that bike.
On the other hand, if you stripped off the chrome, shot it with primer and posed a skanky tattooed biker chick next to it, they'd probably run it in "Old Skool Rodz" or some such.

i dig it....the flames blow but that aint nothing that cant be fixed...I would ride that shit out of it....If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

I am with King Matt on the seat and sissy bar idea,other than that it would be a great bike. I was 18 in 1983, my brother-in-law had a chopped up Suzuki 550 triple, and my Dad had a 750 Triumph fully chopped, I just have a place for older bikes like that.
