Keep in mind that someday you might actually want to ride your bike, as opposed to just looking at it.  Where will you be then, on a slow poor handling piece of crap that is a pain in the arse after 20 min.

It's all been done before.  Nothing orginal there.  Might have been cool 10 years ago, but not so much now.  Why spend a lot of money to make a bike that handles like crap and people have done before.  If you are going with a Nightster, I'd recommend the top bike. 

Unless you are creating something that has never been done before like Duck-Stew's cafe or Truckinduc's project you might as well just stick with a stock or slightly modified stock bike.

Stay with a duc,

Doesn't every one of the big four riders say that about our bikes?

I've yet to see a Duc SBK that wasn't a complete nut cooker.


If he likes the bike, he should try one out and buy it if he likes.

If he's planning on taking the wife, he should get something with a pillion seat  Tongue

If it moves you, go for it.

But I'd just go for more than one bike in the stable, since life's too short for one make.  Smiley

Whereas if I was the OP, I'd be keeping the 696 in preference. If I wanted to actually ride that is.  For pumping ditches I agree with you totally  Wink Grin waytogo

Keep the Duc and find a old Honda or Yamaha.

I like this one. CB750
