I like it, there's a few things I'd change but for the most part l think its cool. I have plans to build something similar but only with an LC250 top end.

I saw that bike on CL several years ago.  I wonder if it's the same owner or if it was sold and now the new owner is selling.

Robakun built that bike about ten years ago, and if it's for sale in Torrance, it is likely he that's selling it.

Hahah the Original "Mr NOT STOCK "

Why he uses (almost ) all stock Yamaha parts.

They may be off different models, but all stock Yamaha.

Oh, I remember.  I first met Rob during a trip down for the Hansen Dam show in 2003.

Just explaining for those that weren't on Buttrider's forum way back then.

LOL, yes, Robert "200mph Buttrider" Hodges.

He went "away" for awhile, and now he's back and doing very well driving beer/wine/weed bus tours in San Diego.
