There doesn't seem to be many mods - unless the US versions don't have scooters!
Nice bikes though, hope they all get ridden regularly.

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Re: Steel City Mods vs Rockers 2017
There were a few scooters. A sweet restoration won the scooter class.
The Pittsburgh area has a lot of steep hills & you don’t see very many scooters on the streets.
I typically take pics of Suzukis & Nortons. Have never had a Norton but have liked them going back to when they were new & way out of my price range. Left-shift versions are rare & big $$$, but I may end up with one someday.
Talked to 2 guys with work-in-progress GT750s.
One recently bought a nice one & has it in a shop getting ready for the street.
The other built the little green Honda CB in my 9th pic. He got a low-dollar 72 GT750 project bike & wanted to talk tech issues.
Both had me run my gray GT750 with the Jemco 3-into-1 chambers.
