NMR = Non Metalworking Related
This contains some metalworking content, but not enough for me to really feel comfortable leaving it generic...
I've got a friend selling two Kawasaki Concours motorcycles... One was damaged in a fall about two years ago but is just about totally fixed... Registered and insured. Street legal except for a non-functioning blinker I think. The second is a running parts bike.
I'm thinking about making a commuter bike out of it - sort of a "naked connie cruiser" thing... Looks won't matter. Just the huge gas tank, lower insurance and no real concern for the condition or cleanliness of the machine other than safety checks, etc.
Anyhow... I know there are folks here who ride. If anyone wants a shot at these, I won't feel bad letting it go to someone who would actually make use of it, because I probably would buy them and let them sit for three years and then re-sell them anyhow... Just too darn busy these days. I have photos.
Anyone ever actually bought a spare bike and made use of it like this or do you guys think I'm wasting my time? The only real work I would do it the machine would be to remove the stock fairing, add an aftermarket headlight, signals and gauges and make it the "naked cruiser" that I think it would look great as... It needs a shield around one coolant hose that the fairing protects and maybe the radiator... Or I could leave the fairing and be like everyone else...
Some minor fab... Nothing major...
