Pure bike porn.

I agree with Willem, this deserves to be the front page feature bike.

Wow, Shamus, what an elegant sculpture. Beautiful.
Would I be correct that you will not be needing the old clutch lever back?

Epic build mate! And great article on Silidrome - congrats...but there is one thing: You forgot to mention great xs400 forum

 

[N8Bishop]

Shamus, we know how I feel about your bike, being a rare clone of my beloved molly. how'd you convince a journalist that a perfectly rolling mint 76 360 was a basket case? i recall a photo of a lovely young woman rolling it before it went onto the truck...it looked like it would have run that day with a tune up. Fibber.

Oh well, mines further more rare now than it was before.

When it come to a modded bike and a nice stock uncut one I would buy a stock bike long before a "custom" bike. Most custom bikes are harder to sell or get much money for because it's another persons idea of what a bike "should" look like. shamus's bike is one of the nicer bikes out there but if I was looking for a xs360 I would buy molly over it because I like the stock look on the xs360 much more. I would like to see more people restoring these old bikes than customizing them With good stock parts hard to find it's much easier to chop them than to fix them correctly But that's just my
