Decided to post these since someone asked.

Shortly after I got it:

Pictured with my 1991 Civic hatch Dx, my name, 91 in roman numerals (xci) chassis code (ed6). That thing had MANY engines, mostly DIY Turbo (home mane w/a intercooler/mani/dp) one carbed with four constant-velocity carbs ripped off a bike ;)

Anyway, back to it.

Mock-up

Painted engine, and rebuilt it (with 2500mi on the clock ;) )

New hubs. Had a disc front, went to CL360 front drum. Tore them both down completely and polished 'em.

Also, ditched the handlebars, for vintage clip-ons

Made a brake light, out of a measuring cup ;)

It has the "custom" exhaust ;) that's funny too :)

I should have more on this in a bit, I'll also add in the other toys.

Damn! the tail's not on that, I'll get it later.

The handle bars are 'clubman' there, like 4" drop. Better to me than the OEM it had, 6" lift...

The Nighthawk...My 'combo' ;)

I got a Nighthawk 650, with a bent frame, so I installed a new frame. A Nighthawk 550. A lil prybar made the engine fit, the swinger & forks fit no prob, but the gas tank/body crap all had to go 550.

got it

almost done

Oh yeah, found some 550 rr shocks, so it went 550, and I had a pair of 650. That would be how the Goldwing got 650 shocks, free ;)

The 919, don't have much there.

So far it has Interceptor wheels with CBR600 forks, and a bit more.

The (first) 599...

remove two -here- things, damn edit.

So this ends poorly. Some ***** ****ed me (Brandy Farnsworth) her insurance took my bike WITHOUT my authority, paid ME $3000 as value (yeah, for a bike where only 2000 EVER made it to the US) where I had just put in a clutch?

Anyway, besides that, SHE got a 90 day licence suspension, so she could drive before I even got out oh the Hospital. I got a 'Traumatic Brain Injury' when she hit me WHILE I WAS STOPPED, she got no injury. So I now have a 150+ day (still suspended) as an 'unsafe driver' thing, FOR HER HITTING ME!!!!

Besides, her insurance NEVER PAID ME and is showing a paper that they claim I signed while I was still unconscious that says I will not sue them or HER.

****ing *****.

My Accord now has fender mounted mirrors off a 599 ;) I made door block-off panels.

The goldwing has a pair too, and I got spares.

And new 599,
