That's the kind of build I would like to do for my nephew. A mid-sized bike to take on fire roads and such. He is into minimalist camping on the large tracts of BLM and park service land where he lives. A motorcycle like this would allow him to get a bit further into it on a weekend than he can hike in the same time.

Default Nice bike..not finished

Nice bike! An ADV bike is designed for travel..add hard bags...lose the belt and convert to chain drive.
Here's my project: 2005 Sportster Roadster XL1200R. Fun as hell!
Badass
