How many one lunger customs out there? Let's see them.
Ive got an SR500 in the shop thats getting a set of clubmans and a cafe fairing. Probably not what you're looking for, but it's a single. All the others I have are flattrackers.
 
ya'll may not like my idea but it is a very cheap way to build a sportbike and have cheap ins. (which is a problem for us young guys). Take a Ninja 250, remove the suspension and replace with the suspension from a 95-02 ZX6R Ninja. Remove the motor and replace it with a KLR650. Put the fairings back on and you have one helluva thumper 250. Thats my "single" story. oh and post more pics.
 
How about these? The flamed bobber is a '78 Yamaha XT 500 engine in a home-grown hard-tail frame with a '68 Honda CL250 steering head and front end. It had a suicide clutch and jockey shift, and me and a friend built the whole thing in 6 nights, including a couple of all-nighters.

The trike is a 1979 Honda XL 250 engine in a frame that started life as a 1982 XL250 but had already been chopped up when I got it. The front wheel is a 1979-1981 Honda XL250 23", the rear end is some unknown Honda three-wheeler unit. It also has a hand-shifter, but I mounted the clutch lever on the shifter rather than making up all the looooong linkages for a foot clutch.

Cool stuff.
I raced Suzuki 500 Quadracers for a few years and have thought what a street bike with that engine would be like but even a thrashed one of those is pretty $$$, if you can even find one.
 
Thumpers are go.

BSA M20 I saw last week.
