Here ya go lazy ass.

Why didn't you just take the tail apart on yours? It took me 7 minutes from the time I walked outside to the time I came back in. Just ignore the Marchesini wheels and titanium exhaust.

These are 640x480s. If you want the 3500x2700 hi-res, pm me your email address.

What are you doing anyway?

You're the man!

This is why I don't just walk outside and take mine apart right now.

I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but let's just put it this way... I don't like pretty plastics and flowing lines. I think all motorcycles should be as ugly and vicious looking as possible. My thoughts right now are on the new BMW concept bike.

Need to finger out some sort of tail section because as I suspected the gap betweent he subframe top rail and the seat looks a little goofy... The one picture posted in here looks liked a hacked and improvised tail on a solo seat... Something along those lines would be sweet.

OSP... one thing to think about is what are you gonna do for the road trips you're talk'n about with Drewpy?

My recommendation, if your gonna chop off the sub frame behind the seat, and you're even slightly inclined in fabrication, create a way to mount a temp platform for your bags. Something you can take off when you want, but throw on for the long trips. doesn't have to be anything hard... just something that holds 50lbs or so. If you create it so it mounts and sits high enough, you won't have to worry about the brake lights as they'll be visible under the platform.

something like this...

That sub frame is thick. Maybe you considered this: But you might try to find a subby on ebay...in case you sell this bitch someday...you can put it back to stock and probly fetch more cash than a custom jobby.

Exactly my plan. I've seen subframes go on eBay for $50 shipped... I'll get one of those to hack up, saving the complete one for resale and x-country.

A) Now that your stranded on one leg.... you have wayyy too much time to think.

B)Why would you hack apart such a faired bike when you could tinker with a Buell or Tuono a bit easier???

A) he was thinking about this LONG before he did a Depuniet

B) he doesn't have a Buell or Tuono... and thinks every bike should be black and should have so few parts that you wonder how they work.
