I found one!!!

Been looking for a big single thumper for quite a while for a special project that's been burning in my mind. I finally found a worthy donor.... 1989 Yam XT600....Runs strong, titled, solid bike.....gave the guy $900 for it. Kinda more than I wanted to spend but I'm happy with what i got. Gonna take my time on this one cuz I plan on keeping it for myself. It's not gonna be just a project to get me through the winter. 1st pic is as she sits now. 2nd pic is kinda what I have in mind.

Well that should be interesting but if you wanted something like that old Norton, Rhinebeck is just around the corner. You could have taken some of those big bucks you made on the sale of the trike and picked one of those up. Or maybe a Brough Superior or Vincent Black Shadow, that way you wouldn't even have to get the garage dirty. But if you want to chop up the Yami, that could be fun too I guess (lol).
