Sweet lookin ride, congrats. I think I would have a 21 inch front rim laced up to it and beefier rear tire. Looks like your are in for a lot of fun.
Yeah i'm sure that would improve the steering and overall handling of the bike . Those stupid japs in white coats have no idea how to build a well engineered motorcycle . Cut the muffler off too - it'll get much better fuel economy and double the horsepower and torque plus sound SO badass - seen it a hunnerd times .
But, but, but, what if I don't wanit to sound badazzed? I might want to putter up on a spring bear with it....
The larger rim on the front end could interest me if there is real benefit to it.
I just wanted a light weight bike and found I wasn't able to buy a new one due to what I suppose is common sales tactics with bike dealers that I found to be a bit scamish.
How can a dealer advertise a new bike for sale at $3900.00 and then expect a customer to be cool with a out the door price of $5200.00? It happened again and again so I just went for sorta new used.....
But again, about that 21 inch rim, improved steering, handling? Really?
