I'm wondering why he has a new bazooka?  (That IS an older bike- right?)

Also, with the clip-ons, isn't it kind of hard to get your toe under the lever to up-shift?

Otherwise, it looks like a fun bike to ride for 30 miles.

It appears the battery is in the left tank, along with the ignition toggle maybe? What year do you think it is, the frame is lugged so it must be pretty old.

Yeah, it looks like a switch on the left tank. 
I don't know , I think he took the engine and tranny mounts, seat post, forks, and steering head, and built the rest.  almost looks like the back end is a bolt-on too.
Fun!!

Ya know, that thing looks better every time I see it. The tanks are beautiful. Sorta like a Bro' Superior.
