Good looking bike. Took the rear seat off my TBA yesterday and saw a whole other bike. One that needs customizing. I thought that I was over the hot rodding car bug but now I am drooling over what can become a whole other new motorcyle.

Very,very nice, one of my all time favorites......

+1 to al above. especially the way the seat and tank blend together visually. Makes it look like a custom tank for sure.

Great bike-
tail lite-what brand?- where bought?

Did you cut on the front fender at all or is it the full stock Speedy fender?

Studz: The Tailight is a tombstone from lickscycles.com

Txspeedster: The mirrors are Arlen Ness, Not very functional, Great quality and finish but if I would have seen them in peron I wouldn't have bought them, they are quite small and I think the edges are to sharp for the look I was after.

Friar: The front fender is stock, I think the bigger profile tyre and maybe even the white wall make it look modified.

Cheers Davo.

Wow, I like it. All the black front end, beautiful. Can you do a close shot of the taillight and dash setup?

very nice.

I can't stop drooling!!!

I tried to post an image of my new seat I made up but I am having trouble, so this is a link to my web album. There is a photo of a sheep skin cover I made for the low profile seat and one of the Ghost union jack seat, comments on the union jack seat would be appreciated, I still haven't made my mind up on it.

Here ya go.



I have to say I like the over all look of your bike. Don't care much for the sheep skin cover but do like the Union Jack seat.

Thanks Dog,
I don't like the look of the sheep skin either, it is comfortable though.
How bloody untidy is that garage, I am going to clean it up right now, lol

There is nothing not to like about your ride Davo. To the contrary, it is so well thought out and executed that otherwise unnoticeable items such as the forward control mounts stand out as begging for attention. A sleeker, more congruous mount design would ice the cake nicely IMO.

thats one sexy lady .what type are those whitwalls, maxxis maybe

Davo, I like the Union Jack set more than the sheepskin.... are you not keeping the low profile?
A lovely bike.

The Tyres are Dunlop.
I found the low profile uncomfortable on long trips so my intention was to sell it but I get just as uncomfortable with the stock seat. So I may as well keep it. I prefer the lines of the low profile.
I think it is the length of my legs thats making it uncomfortable for me, they are nearly bent at right angles which throws my weight onto this one area of my ****** instead of spreading my weight evenly across it.

I think the low profile seat would look better all black, but both seats are cool!

I know what you mean about the legs, I'm tall too. It got so much better after the Corbin, sit lower in the bike. It's a lower profile seat, it seems to flow much better than the stock seat. Just my $.02. Kind of a crappy pic, must have been the cell phone.

gorgeous bike mate! union jack seat gets my vote!

+2 for the Union Jack seat, but I really like the air filter setup.
I think I have a woodie for the whole bike. Nice job!

I thought my bike was clean... do you ride it?
