At least you will never get a bad back and wrist ache on this Ken. Reminds me a bit of the Moto Morini Excalibur but a lot bigger!

Looks like it's asking for some flat-ish bars to give more attitude and meaner stance.

Does look like SOHC too, expecting to hear it's really grungy. Interesting to find out.

It'll keep my arm pits cool with the wind whistling down the arms of my leathers.

I try not to go out in the rain these days, being retired now I can just go out when the suns shining.

motor would be great in a cafe racer chassis. Saw a wicked Virago 1100 lump in a feather bed frame, ally tank, belt accross it the lot! y
It was in Bristol on Monday but couldnt get my camera out in time on my new crap phone. Didnt look but I pressume its a shaft drive too making things a bit trickier but possible i reckon.

Nothing wrong with a cruiser 😀👍I owned a Harley Davidson 883 Sportster which was to American spec, forward footrests and buckhorn handlebars plus other extras,once I’d changed the original elastic band chain for a proper one it was smooth as you like.
Just don’t try 70+ mph or you’ll feel like a windsock in a storm😱

Yeah it's a little scruffy to say the least Andy. I'll try ziplocking it to the bars instead if they'll reach. Replace that big old clutch and brake hose with a nice thin black braided one as well.
