*****en! Yours?

[Banditgreg]

Yes. Bought it new in July 06 and started the modding almost immediately, so there are always new mods every time a photo is taken

Here's a couple of photos taken by the Motorcycle News photographer before the alloy mudguard and seat cowl were fitted. The bike was featured in MCN in Jan 08

Brilliant just fantastic...a nice job of melding the new with the old...just cause I like to show mine here is a pic of my Caff

It is a 63 Atlas..like yours lots of mods and special bits and pieces, the biggest one of is the adaption of a Commando Primary to the Atlas motor.

Fabulous bike. Thanks for posting the photo. You can see where I got my inspiration for my Thruxton.

impressive, allthough i am a bit weary of alloy tanks. at least its not plastic.

these machines definitely need a boost in power. good job on that!

my thought are. we have been recently informed by another member, that science says velocity stacks hurt performance and the stock air box is best.

why are you running open intake?
