This kind of looks interesting:  Spotted it for sale on the Bay of Pigs.

Looks like it would be very easy to slide off the back of the seat onto the rear fender.

Pegs need to be set back more. Otherwise looks good.

It's got no air filters!
Yep, the add said he put some kind of screen there. I'd probably go with the old fashioned pancake filters myself if I had that much open room.

I thought the ones done on the Choppahead bike looked pretty cool. They took some Uni pod filters and shortened them.

Stopped at Borders to check out The Horse today. Similar Triumph Bobber in there, with the pegs a little farther back, and the tank seemed maybe a bit smaller. Looked cool, but then there was a pic of the guy riding it. Looked like an adult riding a kids bike!! I think if those pegs were any farther back someone 6 foot tall would be a wee bit cramped and funny lookin!
