Shot some pics of the Yamahammer a few days ago. I really don't know much about it other than the fact that it looks bad ass.

I think he occasionally lurks.

I just popped in out of hibernation. Wish I would've seen this when he posted it!

Seeing this makes me happy I ripped that mirror off, that thing was ugly.

It essentially looks the same, less mirrors altogether. Haven't had any time to do anything else with it really except ride it and fix all the little shit that fails on a custom, 40 year old bike. I've been a busy man with a lot of other stuff, including trying to wrap up my truck build. Once I'm done with the truck, I think I'm gonna lace up a 21" front wheel for it, buy a later model XS rear wheel so that I can run a single disc brake setup out back and ditch the front brake altogether.

Cool bike for sure. I got an '82 XS... its bone stock though. I'm either gonna sell it of cafe it out.

What are you asking? I'd like to build a gooseneck'd springer chopper out of one.

Love that color.

Thanks Mike, Its impulse blue metallic. Which lets face it, is the best color the GTOs came in and one of my favorite OE paint colors.

Id like to get $1700 for it. It's black w/ around 7000 miles? It's pretty damn clean and unmolested. I am in Tennessee right now but I'll be back home early next week so I can snap a few pics if you'd like?
