But dang! And as someone mentioned, someone finally found a way to make an air filter change easier!  |

I think inference was that removal of that particular tank would be much easier that all the original panels. Also discovered that the exhaust is a modified Delkevic system for the Valkyrie. Makes me feel better about posting it here. 11.7 quarter mile on overwise stock powertrain.

 I like it... Only thing I might change is a small cowl of some kind on the radiators.

Hard to pigeon hole this one! Can’t remember the last time I saw a full custom 2 stroke.  |

With it being a two stroke, I thought maybe the idea is to stay up on the pegs, but suspension travel would seem to limit the amount of air travel one might attempt!

The older Wings make great cruisers/bobbers in my opinion.
