Check out this fab job.
« on: October 27, 2010, 05:04:54 AM »
I had a customer ask if I had parts for this bike.
I couldn't help but share it with you.
"hey guys i just bought my first dirtbike and im hoping you can help me out with some parts. the bike is a bit of a frankenstein its a 79 yz 125 with a 79 400 motor conversion (yeah the frame was chopped and the bottom half of the 400 was welded in and it is using a swingarm from a 250"

The pipe was what caught my attention  :-)
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

SandBlaster,
That pipe brings back memories (Late 70s) everybody wanted one "The Snake Pipe". I think I still have a couple of old mags with them in there.

I was hoping someone might know what it was.
I was thinking it might be a custom fab due to the different models used in it's construction  :-)

I didnt know Hardly Dangerous made a stroker?

Im truly inspired by the yz.Im gonna sell the 5, buy a honda c90, fit it with a blown hemi, and a custom frame made from crunched up coke cans and plasticine(modelling clay) a 35 inch front wheel, a 10 inch rear, and o degrees rake on the forks.Cant wait. :roll:
And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....
