Default I'm having Scramster dreams

I figured if I want to scramble my Roadster it would need a silly project name.

I'm thinking crazy here since it's raining and I'm not writing many work orders with our economy in le toilette.

So, the pipe dream project of the day is a street tracker/scrambler/cafe racer amalgamation frankenstein bastard Roadster. Ha

For wheels, I'm thinking of either two custom built rims, or at least a custom laced front in 17"x3.5" laced by Buchanan and a Dyna 17" rear just like Tzrider managed to do on his 48. What's appealing here is the ability to run this rear wheel & tire combo without a chain conversion...and the fact that this is just sitting in the back at work...



Depending on how terrible or decent this season is by the numbers, I may convert to chain anyway.

In terms of changing up the look body-wise with a different tail, etc, I'm on the fence. I do think a fiberglass tailsection would really look ****, just not sure which direction to go for yet - cafe or tracker. Definitely neither for the moment.

Of course a motor kit is on the horizon too, just not right away. This here is mostly pipe dreams, too, but I'm fairly set on getting some spokes going so GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS BROS. Supersportstermoto? DAFUQ?

Spokes on a Roadster...I just don't think it's right unless your going to do a full "old school" conversion that is.
Just MHO.
