lol ok so i am kind of dumb with computers lol so i am just gonna smile and nod with that photobucket stuff lol, yeah i realize that it won't be easy, but hey i figgure i am alwayse up for a new challange, i duno the bike is viper blue now, it is a beautiful blue, and i am a big blue fan on motercycles, but if i do this to it, u have ne sugestions on a new color??
howdy all, new here
hey everybody, i am totaly new here, just wanted to say hey, and i wanted an opinion on something.
i bought a 1980 yamaha xs 400 special 2 last summer for $250 with a new batery, sylonoid, and fairly new tires on it, it was a lil banged up, but i thought it would be a perfect project for me. so being an auto body tech i took the bike apart and redid the tank and fixed the side covers, put different bars on it and new mirrors on it, lol and some other odds and ends here and there, but basicaly what i was wondering is if u guys think it would be worth it to make an all out looking cafe racer out of the lil guy?? um so call me a dumby, but how do you post pics on here?
