It looks like several have a taller narrower tire on the front. Is that possible with out doing a lot of changing. The old GW 1500 had a narrower tire up front, were the forks the same as the Valk?

Thanks for posting, been some serious time, money and effort invested.
The last bike must be owned by a machinist or metal worker or millionaire.
Still trying to decide which one I like the most.

That is the one that sent me looking for more.
Not only the comfort (ride to Taos?), but where do you put your toothbrush?
I think that is what you call a half-hour seat (or upholstered notch).

If I remember correctly , the last bike was built in Japan. There was an article on it a few years (?) back. If I had my machine shop back again , my wife would not know me.

If talking about the one with the number 6 on the gas tank, I agree, is the best of the bunch, looks very cool and well done |

That is nice Just like a cafe should be. Nothing not needed is on the bike , foot pegs moved, nice detail work. I like the Six Pack bike and the blacked out Bobber, but w/o turn signals and mirrors, you won't get far w/o getting stopped. |

My question was because the second and third picture are the same bike. I too am greatly impressed with the one in the fourth picture. |
