The bike is built on a stock ‘81 frame, motor rebuilt to stock specs, I rebuilt the wheels using stock ‘75 aluminum rims(both 19″) and new spokes, had the seat rebuilt with a bumstop, and I added the left side front disk brake assembly from an XS1100.
I repainted the frame, fenders, and gastank with rattle cans, and I also did the gold pinstriping by hand. A fun bike to ride and to show off.

The “Jr. Sample Sales” reference damn near makes it for me. Not what I would build, but I bet its fun as Sh*t to ride. Nice job man.
