Well...that bike looks a little 'shy' right now but I would like to think it and it's previous owner/owners had become 'one' against the elements in the past and had some interesting times.

It may not be an original vintage bike, but from the look of those parts, I'll bet it was built (chopped) a bunch of years ago. If nothing else, it's a vintage chopper. Could become a pretty neat project.

Personally, I like all kinds of bikes and think this baby could be pretty cool. I bet those "shocks" won't soften the ride much Hardtail. My brother chopped a 305 Scrambler back in the day (Seems sinful to think of doing that to one now) and it was fun to ride. Good find and good luck, Doug

You have a nice find there. I do know of someone who I ride with who has a CB750 chopper that was chopped in the seventies, where ever we go that bike gets more attention then my all original CB350. It may not be the most comfortable thing to ride, but it is pretty to look at it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I would be interested in that frame if you want it to go to a great home. I have a CB550-4 that is running but is not that cosmetically nice. May be a marraige made in VJMOG land, who knows.

Or he can buy my 550, either way it is a match and a possibility to get a chopper up and going again. That's all I'm sayin'.
