I'm getting the bobber/rat bike itch

[Motörhead]

My first, third and fourth bikes were CB750F Super Sports. Now looking at this I'm tempted but doubt I have the skill and funds to go that far. From what I've seen best up or neglected GL1500s can be had pretty cheap.
Someone talk sense to me

When I was a dealer tech I worked on a Valkyrie with the same style six individual pipe exhaust. Man did that thing sound like a beast when ripped.

I Google searched hp and torque for the full dresser and Valkyrie 1500s, they're practically the same. I'm going to see if that GL1500 sitting on a flatbed trailer full of junk is still where I saw it last year.

The bike on a trailer is gone. I made a stop at the local metal recycling yard where I've seen bikes going to the crusher, the manager was pretty helpful and let me look around. On top of a pile I found a GL1100 with fairing but the frame was bent and what looked like a late 70's-early 80's CB750K in bad shape. I'll be stopping by every Wednesday to see what shows up.

No one here will talk any sense
Keep searching and the right bike will find you. Wish you a happy new year!

The sensible thing to do would be to have a little flyscreen on that to deflect stuff that might fall in the open stacks! You might be further ahead to find a valk to use. Then you get the six carbs with it.
