Nope. That's a sport classic triple. Stu had a spacer machined and Norman racing bored it out for me.

I had to saw off the stock ignition mount where the ignition sat, and relocate the ignition to make room for it. And now I'll have to make some sort of strap for the tank now that the stock tank hook thing is gone.

Like I said. Still needs work.

Thinking a black leather insert for the strap...

Looks excellent, DM.  Just excellent.  What'd they have to do to get it to fit?  I assume it's set up for the 50/54 monster forks (and you're running SBK).  What about the offset?  And the lower?

We need to take a weekend and get the computer/wiring done on my bike.  Prolly before breeding occurs.

Idea:  You started talking about a leather strap and it got me thinking (no, not like that).  With your shiny bike, waddya think about a light/medium brown leather?  Start w/ a brown leather tank strap and then think about re-covering your seat.  Might look pimp.  Try a photoshop.

You know, Maria does leather work. She really likes blending metals and leathers into her projects, so this is right up her alley! I'll ask her if she'd be interested in doing a tank strap.

Yes! YES!
