It's one of those plastic bottles with a screw on cap and mounting. Mostly used for tractor operating manuals!crust wrote: Fri Oct 10, 2025 6:33 pmI'm liking the G clamp holding the round thing on the front under the motor.Beancounter wrote: Wed Oct 08, 2025 2:24 pm Parked outside the office today.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
That clamp doesn't appear to be on that cylinder (looking at the 3rd pic) - it looks like it's either clamped on the frame or doing the job of an exhaust stud to me.
Squeezing in the wrong direction for that though methinks.
Either that or it's an impromptu footrest.

That's pretty sexy for a cruiser!
£34k is a bit eye watering tho'
Ohhh SHINEY! Just needs an AR exhaust.

One of the triple club members won 'best modified Japanese street bike' category.
A very tidy S2 350. Looks factory made. I bet it'd be fun to ride.

It's a restomod and they've even gone with modern/nardo grey - they'd have been ok going with some smaller LED indicators!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
That's very tidy indeed. Not normally a fan of grey, but that works. If it was me I'd have used a 500 or 750 as a base to work with, though.Skub wrote: Mon Oct 13, 2025 2:07 pm One of the triple club members won 'best modified Japanese street bike' category.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I kinda like it, but it'd look better in green, obvs, and it looks odd without twin shocks. Dunno why that bothers me, but it does. A bit. Not a lot though. But enough to comment. D'oh!
