and it'd still be as big a chunk of shit as it was back then.

Bevels.  You love workin' on 'em

Back to the Radical Ducati discussion, I think this is a nice "mellow" build compared to most of theirs. It's probably a derby but what the heck:

there's a lot less colours in it, I think that makes a big difference.

Reminds me of what a Monster would look like back in the day.

Ahhhh... nice old right hand shifter.

I've got an old basket case (and I do mean basket case!) '77 900SS that was a Berliner Import bike that was originally a right hand shift bike but due to the regs of '77 it was coverted via a Rube Goldberg jackshaft assembly that made it a legal left hand shift bike. I assume it was a factory conversion. I'll never rebuild it. I'll have to leave it to my widow in my will.

Awesome. The closer I look at the details the more impressed I am. More and more.

I remain appalled by the faux-interesting suspension.  It's like putting spinners and a body kit on a ferrari.

It's a mellow build alright.  Different tail section and nose fairing on a carb'ed 90's SuperSport 900SP.  Something like that could be knocked out in a 1 car garage by nearly anyone in a couple weekends.  Seems to me like the less they do to a bike, the more I like the outcome.

Ok, I'm being a bit of a troll here...  I'll quit it.  Sorry if this offends anyone.

Thats why I like it. They normally cover it with lots of multi colored blingy bits. I hate how they overdo it.
You're right in that it looks like someone got the basic kit and put it on, rather than changing everything they could like they often do.
