would it work - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Travh444 · 03-12-2007, 03:06 PM

Here's a photoshopped picture of my m50 with the rear end completely removed. I was wondering if i decided to do this and add a little snub nosed wheel hugger from a hyabusa or something if would ever work. I think it looks pretty aggressive. Any coments.?

Where there's a will there's a way.....

Good Luck

Might look okay without the windshield-

Ext1jdh · 03-12-2007, 03:40 PM

Think I saw something like that around here about a year ago. If you have a way to support the seat, I don't see a problem...right?

I agree, with the screen, it looks a little off-balanced and mis-matched. Kinda hard-core out back and comfy-cruiser up front. However, this is a noob opinion. I don't even own a bike yet.

GregR1 · 03-12-2007, 03:50 PM

na, i say don't. the whole engine / tank / pipes are too bulbous and full to all of a sudden have a naked wheel out back (even with the hugger, it'll look naked). if there wasn't so much bodywork up front, then it might work, but it's too drastic of a change - like a fat chick with a great tight lil ass.

Everett's bike looks something similar.

And that's the baddest looking M50 I've ever seen. Especially when he rides wearing his skeleton bandanna.

for the new folks here. some ideas i had about a year ago....

geoffsimpson · 03-13-2007, 06:54 PM

I often entertain the thought of adding the rear off a gixxer...kinda like a roland sands performance machine kind of thing

War Eagle · 03-13-2007, 08:56 PM

Looks like an older model Confederate, which I think is BAD ASS.

I'll take number 4....with a small coke and a hot apple pie

outlaw · 03-16-2007, 06:29 AM

pie? did someone say pie? *looks around*

i think pie uhm 4 is my favorite too. you just may see that coming soon......

Don M50limited · 03-16-2007, 09:04 AM

Yep, #4 with some different pipes would look great.

Everett Keith · 03-16-2007, 10:29 AM

Like this?

outlaw · 03-16-2007, 06:00 PM

this is my favorite and probably similar to what i'll do to my bike. don't look too hard at the photochop. it ain't very good, but gets the general idea across.

Ext1jdh · 03-16-2007, 06:35 PM

oh jeez

i looked too hard

whats gonna happen to me???
