my Yamaha XVS 650 Custom, when I picked it up it had been modified, cut down rear mudguard, aftermarket indicators and lights, home made exhaust and other bits, on the plus side it had all the bits to take it back to standard, here's how it was advertised.

and once it arrived home

unfortunately being the Muppet I am when I strapped the bike down I put the ratchet too close to the tank and damaged the paint both sides Crying or Very sad

sounded lovely but after getting insurance quotes for a modified bike I decided to take it back to standard,

Exhaust done

next thing to do was fit the full mud guard, fit the original indicators and re-wire them, remove the aftermarket front indicators and re-wire them too.

Now this is nice Very Happy

There is not enough pictures of cruisers/chop/bobber/rats on here.

I am looking at getting a cruiser/rat as a second bike hopefully in a few months, could you explain the price difference in the insurance and what you had to tell them about Smile

cheers

That's a great looking bike. I've got a 125 Dragstar and love it. Being a small bloke its probably the most comfortable bike I've ridden (that and the Honda Shadow).

I like the ape-hangers by the way Thumbs Up
