the idea of customization...it started it all...

no more temporary.
the headlight is securely attached.

仮付けだったヘッドライトもちゃんと溶接。

shinya loves to customize just about anything...
this time, the knob.

どんなものでもただそのまんま、というのが嫌なのでしょう。
何か見るとカスタマイズしたくなっちゃう性分・・・で、ノブ。

but of course, it has to look better 
if you are gonna change it...
so he put the black knob back. weh :)

hmm...it started it all.
when we were kids, we put stickers on our bicycles
and then changed the frame color...then
changed the handle bars and seat 
to make it special :)
well...sometimes you did too much 
and made it look strange
but overall, it was fun and exciting...
bicycle, motorcycle, car, tools...
we are still doing it.

now the tool box is on.

ま、ちょっとやってみただけ。また黒玉に戻す。

結局子供の頃に自分の自転車にシール貼ったり、
フレームの色変えたりハンドルやシート替えたりして
自分だけの一台に変えていく快感や、
皆よりもかっこいいのに乗りたいって思っていた気持ちが、
そのまま大きくなったような感じ。
しかし、やり過ぎて元に戻したくなることも多々あるのでR。

 いよいよ道具箱も乗っかりました。

けん2: おにぎり?サンドウィッチ?どっち派?

Bastybikes: shinya,too, is the vintage fanatics. he won't do anything stupid on this historical motorcycle. he wanted to personalize it just a little bit.

I know shinya won't do anything bad to that indian .. i just remembered some older posts with some guys begging shinya not to cut indian parts ...

when i was 17 i had a Sokol 600 1940 engine ( polish) and cutted the gearbox from the engine case to have the gearbox away from engine .... huuu what i heard after that :) ... i wont do it again :))

By the way .. Google the sokol 1000 engine it is a 30's polish v-twin very nice
