Finished it now, it's a chop and shunt, the rear part is of a XV1000 Dragstar Classic ( Might be VStar in the States)

Pics ain't the best but you get the idea.

Very Nice, Borg

Looks very nice. Changes the whole look of the bike. Not offensive at all. Makes it look like it's going 100 mph standing still. Are you going to add a few flames to the rear fender??

One question for you and this isn't meant to be critical but on your 3rd picture, I notice that your front tire could be on backwards. Now I'm not really sure if this is an issue on a bike given the small contact area with the ground but the treads are confiigured so that they pull water to the center of the tire instead of to the edges.

Anybody know if bike tires are directional like autos???

I'll check that out, I didn't notice any directions arrows on it.

Oh yer and it won Best Modern Classic at the Isle Of Anglesey Show this weekend

If the front tire in the 3rd photo is a Laser or Lasertec it is not backwards.
