- October 05, 2012, 20:38:33 PMI kinda go for that older style too. Guess we all do since we ride Drifters, huh?
This is my "lower horsepower" ride that I use to try and work off dinner with......
See, I really do like that vintage style!

- October 05, 2012, 20:07:41 PMQuote from: pcarrell on October 05, 2012, 18:52:22 PMThis was my 1975 Yamaha XS650 project. I say "was", because sadly I had to part with it when I needed some quick cash this last spring. The guy that bought it said he was going to do a street tracker with it. I originally planned to do a modern day version of an old board racer with it.
Sweet. Those older bikes had a style all their own. Nice to see some of that look coming back in some of them.

Looks good tucked in there, I like that.

- October 05, 2012, 17:18:25 PMThanks, PCarrell; it actually mounts to the V&H rear muffler mounting holes; since I ran the rear pipe over to the left side, it left the mounting holes in the bracket available. But the muffler mount does bolt to the rear peg mount, so yes, you are correct, in a roundabout way. The tool box is an (old) original, had no key, so took a drawing of a buddies key, spent WAY too much time making one, then discovered that J&P cycle sells them for about $7 bucks for a pair. Laughs were on me for that one!!

- October 05, 2012, 15:39:46 PMHey, you've got one of those chrome Harley toolboxes too! I see you mounted yours to the passenger footpeg mount. I hadn't sen that spot before, but it looks good! I mounted mine where the rectifier used to be. Great looking ride though!
