History
I originally bought this bike in 2009 or thereabouts. It was poorly painted an ugly maroon color, and the bodywork was held on by zip ties. It was an ugly machine. I stripped it down to the frame and made a quick and dirty street fighter out of it, and then sold/gave it to a friend. That friend gave it back to me around 2012, and I've been sitting on it for a bunch of years. Now I'm rebuilding it into a Streetfighter with some Scrambler attitude!
