My bike is called scrap by mates, may as well play along... I like playing with metal. |

Why not fab it all in aluminium? would look better than that hybrid IMHO. I'm sure Holtworks could knock something up for you... if you don't mind waiting a few years...and have £5k you need to launder...

https://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/ ... =170&s=&a= Buy one of these and make a combination. I know it's pricey , but getting a damaged one from the states is also to much these days! You are a handy chap ,so making a couple pieces from alloy to get the fender mounted is not difficult for you! (It cost some time and energy

Holtworks were given flyscreen,mudguard and seat fairing years ago and as a one man band he just put them to one side intending to make some. Got them back as it looked like they would never happen. He has a lot of different stuff he makes and some may be easier to make a living at than Buell |

Battered around a piece of 2x2 cut to shape. the smaller bits were just a rectangular piece of metal and two strips the other side and wanged in a vice. Flush countersunk rivits on scrap piece feels strong.
