I read in a magazine article on the bike it was added for that very reason, the shape was too odd looking without it. The spine gave it the right look without ruining the concept of the bike.

The owner also said it was to prevent falling down into the carbs… you’d want to make sure your fly is done up otherwise…

I find it interesting that even though the tank is not over the motor the top tube was still bent in a shape that shows the viewer where the tank would normally be. Maybe it was on purpose, or maybe it would have looked unfinished without that bent bar.

Can there be a worse place for the gas weight; up high, over the back wheel?

Why not in the frame?

Yeah, I second that David. The appeal of this bike is in its mechanical honesty. If your gonna relocate the fuel tank fine, but don’t lie about what it is. No sticker no fake exhaust tip.

I love it, total minimalism. Loose the NOS sticker on the tank though.

Imagine the sound of the thing without the (tiny) muffler!

Anyone know where the perimeter brakes came from?
