I have looked at a lot of bikes on this web site and yours is one of the best looking ones. I have a 79 I am trying to bring back to life. Nice looking bike. I been riding for almost 50 years and have had a lot of bikes but always wanted a 650 Yamaha. Current bike is a ultra classic Harley but the Yamaha will be a good one to run around the mountains here.

Hey Melv, Love the look and the inventiveness of your long runner manifold, good luck with your stuff. I have to say that I also loved the honesty of your video when your bike had a flat battery, that is just so about bike building…funny stuff man. Thanks for adding some new products to our choices….and the laugh. Ride hard.

if the whole point was the new one why did he start and ride the bike with the old one??????????????? maybe I missed the part where he installed the new one?

I was thinking that.

Surely that was the whole point?

Very inventive!! The only thing though,is like Mike Lytle was saying, it runs into the backbone and u cannot get air cleaner on there. Is there anyway you could make one that would run to either side so you can put air filter on??? Plus I think it would stand out and look much better. It would then be more marketable, I would definately be interested !!! Let me know what you think on that

Greetings from the South Bronx USA, Melv. I’ll be forwarding your Ebay info on to my friends: Those manifolds are a welcome option. As for your exhaust note on revs, if I could buy an alarm clock that made that noise, I’d buy it. That’s my idea of music in the morning.

looks like it would have been cooler if you had run a double instead of leaving the single seat post part of the frame…. could have ran an air cleaner…… when you passed that car on the road I thought you were going to have a major wreck!!! you Brits drive on the wrong side of the road …..lol thanks for sharing

Hey Rossco, here are some of his awesome items he´s fabricating. Theres an ebay link to his auctions too.

I really like his stuff – prices aren´t too bad also.
