somethin I saw at the Rod and Custom Car show was created by Godfrey
A couple friends and I went to a local indoor Rod and Custom Car show today, and one of the bikes shown there was a 1975 KZ 900 with a single sided swingarm. I wish I would have been able to get pics of the actual swing arm side of the bike(sigh).

we both mentioned and laughed about the fact that 75% of the custom Harleys at the show were for sale, and none of the asian bikes were, kinda shows you who values what.

yeah, very nice. The single swinger and rear wheel I don't think really fit this bike well but to each their own. If everyone did there bikes the same it'd be boring.
