Roland Sands likes to do clipons or otherwise really low bars, but it shouldn't be too uncomfortable. Love that it's not completely covered in fairings like almost all bikes today. Super clean, I'd just like to see it without the cafe nose and with a 2-up seat.

I felt it would look really badass without the faring

[OldDrunkenSailor]

Not a guaruntee. Sans faring it could end up looking nice like a CB350 or wonky like a Speed Triple

Haha...

Toying with the idea of selling my Eta Coupe, to fund this purchase and throw my 2.7i in it..

You don't want a vert, keep your drift car build going, I'm excited to see how it turns out!

Back in my day people use to refer to verts as fem mobiles

Well it's definitely cafe inspired, so a full fairing bike is out of the question. And fcuk a 2-up seat...if I owned this thing, I wouldn't let anyone else on it with me. Defeats the purpose IMO.

How else do you expect Joel to ride a motorcycle except with arms wrapped around a full grown man?!

when you've got a lady who wants to go in a ride with you and you tell her that you have to go solo instead, that's when you may find the value in a nice-looking 2-up. Roland Sands actually sells one but I've seen e30s that are cheaper.

Pulling up my big boy pants and pulling the iX engine out of the red one this weekend so practice before I yank the B27 out of the coupe. Two questions.

1. Engine Leveler.. is it neccessary for pulling/installing an M20? I see people use them all the time on bigger engines, just curious if it'd save me alot of time and headache?

2. If anyone is around during the weekend in the AM/early afternoon, i'd love some company or even just another set of eyes and hands. Just throwing that out there.

Gonna be a good weekend!

My past 77' gs550 cafe was a single seat, and I didn't let my girlfriend ride with me then. Lol

Engine leveler helps no matter the size of the motor...if you have access to one, definitely use it.

And honestly, to save you a shit ton of time, chop the front end off, and just hoist that motor out
