Gift = tax? Interesting.
Actually it is "afgift" that means tax, or it is just a other word for tax. "Gift" means married and it also means poison, read what you like from that The proper danish word for tax is "Skat" which is also a common thing to call your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend as it also means tresure. The danish language is a funny one, lots of words have more than one meaning and often they are complete contradictions.
Your bike looks great, I like the retro look as well. I think I would have kept the front end from the original custom though. I did a similar build on an 850T a few years ago. http://s1146.photobucket.com/user/jwalano/slideshow/950S
I kind of wanted to keep the USD front end, but as the "new" stock frame I bought had the tall headstock, so I couldn't use the original front end. I tried to go thru all the possible solutions for getting it to work. But in the end, it was not worth it. So I bought the Mazocchi fork instead. The difference between the old short headstock and the newer tall headstock is 50mm. 170mm for the old type and 220mm for the newer type. If I lowered the bottom triple tree by 50mm the bike would be standing completely on its nose and the outer fork legs starts to taper just below the lower triple tree. So it would never be a neat solution.
I sure do like your returning some of the period look to it. Getting rid of the awful downward streaking exhaust, the USD forks and getting back to dual shocks are great aesthetic improvements even if the previous might have had some advantages.What did you end up doing with that wonderful fairing from the 850 donor? Looks like a nice set-up.Todd.
Me thinks you still have a worthy project bike with the original bike frame you started with. Just not sure what, but you can sort that out when this project is finished.
I'm looking forward to seeing more! What was involved with adding the new front end? I have an '85 call II and I want to upgrade the front end. How hard was it to source the front end?
Danes also don't say Copenhagen , comes out like Koovenhagen . Dusty
Looks good, I really like the clean electrical box and wiring.

Everything looking good. My only question is, "How can anyone have that much room in the shop?"

You have to be organized...This was yesterday, I cleaned up today. Too tired to take a picture though.
Hey RickLovely job you've done there!What are your plans for the USD forks from the original bike? I'd be interested if they are for sale and would fit a LM1 frame.Based in the UK.Cheers
Hell - think of the money he saves on bike work stands. Todd.
how about mounting that rear master cylinder backwards? on a bracket ?? Keep up the good work
