    "has 2 rear fenders to go with they just need to be mounted. "

    that would be a good thing to do :)

    This might sound crazy, :wink: but with a rear fender, and a nice looking custom fabbed tank, we might think differently about it. It's not much more different than bobbing a Seca. With the right touch and the right color, anything can look good. :wink:

    Different strokes and all that but you have taken a bike that was the pinnacle of sports bike engineering of it's time and made it not handle not stop and not go_Oh to be fair it will go right up to where you lose control of the bike and your fertility 8O
    But then I'm a little strange I think there is a special place in Hell for people who chop 50's and 60's Trumpy's and Nortons and GOD save me people do it to Vincent's thats what HD's are for, because they suit people who want to be looked at on their way to the bar or the coffee shop for the double decaff latte of the day.
    Sorry just venting guy I work with just got himself a nice clean late 60's Bonny and he is chopping it !! hardtail and extended forks, fair enough if it's a rat, build what you want but to my mind it is a piece of history.
    Just seems such a waste as these bikes disappear and that GSX-R was as pivotal as the Bonneville in it's time and time is not very kind to any mass produced performance vehicle as they pass through the hands of various owners.
    Thank god for people like the Wiz and Big Fitz.

    Everyone has their own idea of a radical bobber/chopper and this just looks bit out in left field is all. The no-rear fender idea is not the best, and it surely looks like it needs one. The tank doesn't do it any good in the looks department either. With a tear drop shaped tank and fender on the back, it would pass for some fun riding.

    You cant put a tear dropped tank on it it sits on that big aluminum frame you wouldnt be able to see over it. He must have had his legs surgically altered notice the space between the seat and foot pegs. Maybe he got lower leg bones removed and his knees grafted on his ankles

    I see what you mean Cutlass. That frame sucks too. Never was a fan of the outer exposed frames (HD V-Rod type) I think it takes away from the traditional looks of the V-twin or any other bike for that matter.
    I guess if you want to be different, that would be the bike to do it.

    The frame is much stronger and lighter but i cant see making something that handles as good that all the magazines complain about cramping legs let alone lowering the seat about 2 inches. My guess is someone wrecked it big time and couldn't afford new plastics for it. and figured they would molest it. Making a gsxr into a bobber is like putting 18 inch ape hangers on a hyabusa you just dont do it lol . I would have removed the plastics and made it a streetfighter
