I'm only 5'-11, but the seat position places my feet straight down on the foot pegs when riding instead of back or forward, which I find is more comfortable.

I know what your talking about, you either need to sit forward and hug the bars or further back. 12v accessories, I like :)


Thanks Spokes ...

Well, I got a little ambitious the last couple of days and decided to do a solo seat and clubman bars mockup. The solo seat is a Le Pera solo seat I bought off a guy from the swap meet, it came off his Harley and I thought it would fit my application just fine. I had to manufacture up my own ...

Yes this is going to be a long drawn out project, aside from a complete engine rebuild it will need wheels, complete exhaust system, seat, bars, numerous electrical items, panels and whatever else after tearing down. I am looking at this to be a project for next year so I will store them in my shed ...

3 Dreams for a Benjamin

Wow I haven't even started my restoration on my CA95 and I get an offer to buy 1 CA72 and 2 CA77's all for one Benjamin. All have motors (not seized), two are missing wheels and miscellaneous parts, basically the three bikes were to complete 1 CA77 but the guy lost interest. I may buy all three and ...
