That is a good looking bike! I like the GFG with ridges not black. It matches the motor nicely.  ~Brent

Oh, I'm liking your bike, Zach!! And I have to agree with Brent as far as that GFG goes... first one I've seen that I liked! It really suites the bike. Now, I'm also liking that '62 Merc in the garage. What is that... a Monterey, a Meteor? Sorry... didn't mean to distract from your bike but you did put in in the picture!!

Very hot lookin bike. Never thought I would like a GFG but it looks right on there. Flat black is the bomb.

did that bonnie tank just bolt right on or what modifications did you have to do to make it work.

Ryan, GFG means George Foreman Grill. An affectionate term for the stock front sprocket cover.

I love the GFG personally. I actually bought one to put on. As far as my car its a 63 merc meteor 2 door hardtop.
Loco, the bonnie tank is longer and narrower then the speedy tank. Also has a different bracket where it bolts to the frame. Its not hard however. I made a bracket, welded it and fit it on the tank in about an hour. Also had to shave down the rubber support thingys on the front since the tank is narrower.

The bike looks great! Where did you get the bars and longer cables and brake line? I keep finding bars too big for the stock risers.

Just my opinion... but I think wide whites would look nice on your bike. If that's a rattle can paint job, it came out great.

Yeah, guess I should of added the changes. I side mounted the plate, relocated rear signals and flushed the fender. Got some old 70's triumph badges and bent them to fit the tank. Then painted the back red instead of white. Added a red breather filter. I think thats it...

I always like a little red on a murdered out bike. Nice.

It's looking great. I don't really see a problem with the front fender, though I really am wanting one of those Free Spirits front fenders.
