Chopped my frame.

Hello from Lochinver
Last month a sheep pulled out in front of me and I crashed when I tried to enter it from behind
The sheep died and I was pretty sore with injury to my wrist and ribs, the bars got bent and the tank received a small dent.
Anyway, the insurance wrote it off as cat c and I decided to keep the bike as there was no real damage.
Then I decided to sort the bike and changed it a bit, what do you think?

I like the `shorty` look too, might do it to mine one of these days with a nice sturdy rally rack where the rear seat used to be. What is the seat off, monster or speed triple?

Its off a monster Mince, I dont know if I like the rear light but am going to wait to see if it grows on me. the exhausts look too long now but I have a bit of work planned for the exhaust gasses in the near future so they will do for now

Thats look real smart mate, nice one.
Agree that some shortie cans would look better and the rear light is a bit 'out there' on its own, but the seat itself is a good fit.

The ignition switch is on the coil mounting, and the coil is moved over to the back of the rh mounting, I canny take the credit as it was like that when i bought her
