Hmmm

Like both colours but lean towards the red and bloody nice Frankens they are too !!! The silver and yellow bike looks spindly - sort of light weight. An illusion due to the lighter colours?

Definitely the gold rims on Red and black rims on Yellow.

And send the sliders up from the yellow and I'll spruce em up - have they been done with a wire brush?

Cheers

So what's involved in making a franken bike?
I am gearing up to give my 490 a big do over including bling and am confident I can get a frame.
I was leaning towards a white bike but am now keen on the yellow between yours and seeing this tank on the bay.

Both. My racer is a GS frame so I am keen to do a Franken bike with it. The MC is still down the list a fair bit.
Are the shocks the same length as thee '81?
Do you have to modify the frame?
