That's been on the RuffRodders site too. Posted a few pics of it's build up here last year some time I think. Yeah, it's quirkily cool isn't it.

I like the low seat and high tank look. Not really a chopper or a bobber and i think its got a certain amount of cafe racer about it. I like  |

Think it was an old Honda tank wasn't it? I'm sure it was dark blue last time I saw it though. Had odd touches like bath tap fork top nuts. Quite bravely different for the usual Yank tastes.

Or just plain weird!  I remember looking at that curved hardtail & wondering how strong that would be. Sort of buggers the triangulation up a bit. Still very nice though. |

Every Triangle has 3 points, its just the route the frame takes to get to each of them  .....Bet you couldnt bend it !! even with a lunchbag full of rock cake |

Yeah, but a triangle's strength is in the straight lines, all supporting one another. Once you squeeze that shape inwards you lose a lot of it's stability & under pressure it'll try to fold in on itself. It don't matter none though -still a cool machine. |

Some more piccies of the Yam bobber/chop/cafe racer thingy, taken from the RuffRodders' forum. Looks good on the move. Makes a great change from the usual Yank Harley stuff. Nice to see they're finally realising they don't make the only motorcycles in the World.
