Crazy story for this week’s #tonuptuesday. Jeff Linson found this 1984 Honda Nighthawk on Craigslist and turned it into a screamer. He bought it off a guy who was contemplating turning it into a trike because he was born with no arms. Linson was so curious to meet a guy who wanted to try to ride a bike with no arms that he went to see the bike. From Linson: “We ended up making a trade for an old ATV I had. He thought riding it around the neighborhood might be a little safer than a trike at 55 down the highway. “Brought it home, stripped it down and fabricated a new frame from the backbone back. I built a seat pan, stretched the tank, made handlebars, shaped a bikini fairing around an early ironhead headlight, added fender from 750F1, freshened motor, built exhaust, relocated and cleaned up the electrical. Everything else was bead blasted and either painted or polished. “The reason for building a CB650 SC was the Cycle Guide article I read in high school that said World’ss Fastest 650. Ever since then I wanted one. Shop for Café Racer shirts and DVDs. https://facebook/CafeRacerTV/app_189977524185 Use this link for mobile devices. j.mp/1qxG0lt
