'73 World Voyageur 650B Build
Hey all, brand new here. I picked up a '73 World Voyageur (23") from a member here, through NYC craigs, and did a 650B conversion (or 650B build rather, as it was just a frameset). The 650B served 2 purposes: (1) allow me to add fenders in the future, when I get around to it and (2) to drop the standover a tad. The member (some guy named Ben from NYC -- thanks again Ben) suggested I post it here. The pictures were quickies, but here it is. Below are details from the build. Some of the parts were used, others new. I have a front courier rack that I need to get around to installing one of these days as well. If I am violating any rules by posting this in the wrong location, my apologies.
Regards,
Chris
