Hi everyone.
I just bought an '83 V65 about a month ago and I got enough spare parts with it that I can put another bike together, minus a front end, seat and gas tank.
I'm keeping one bike stock and the other... IDK???
I can tell you it's NOT going to be a bobber or chopper because I am sick of seeing those.
I like the cafe racers, but I'm unsure what I can get away with using a cruisers frame
(and I'm not wanting to do any major mods to the frame either)
Any and all ideas (photoshop or similar existing projects) would be greatly apreciated.
Here's what I have to start with.
A stock frame from a '84 V65 magna

Complete rear wheel with a bald tire

A healthy 45,000 km (28,000 mi) motor with 180psi in all 4 jugs and 25,000km motor with a blown trany...
![]()
I also have all the wireing harness, electronics, 2 sets of gauges, 2 sets of carbs....
This is my stock V65 (the midle one)... and I'm the handsome felow behind the camera
