Unfortunately I'm at work right now so I cant see the pics, but I'll check when I get home.


I'm looking into ways to lower my front end. I have the inverted forks and I can't get drop springs or have my tubes cut. How does she handle at speeds of 90 and above? I'm also trying to track down the cause of my high speed wobble at the moment. My next step is to have the head bearings looked at.


I'd like to level it out but I actually ride this thing, so I don't want to give up handling for looks.

How do you like the performance of the ME880 in the rear?
Thanks fellas! Only put on about 50mi but so far feels a lot smoother which was the opposite of what I was expecting. The rear seems to grip better. I can hear the tires gripping trying to turn out of my driveway.

I wanted to go the inverted route too but cane across the issue with getting the front lower. I may look into some raked trees next but I don't want a major change in handling. I've only been 85mph tops and she handles fine for me. I'd check your wheel bearings and the neck bearings if you're getting wobbles.

Looks great.
I picked up a set of those carlini bars a couple months ago.
This will get me motivated to switch em out.

As bad *** as the bike looks in the pics, it's even badder *** looking in person! Real nice scoot!

Met Von last night (as he's local to me); he was very gracious to let me try the 14" Carlinis on his bike as I am looking at apes for my Slim (bikes are about same height, near same seats)- Thank you again man!

Anyhow, really a bad *** bike all the way around, and the wheels make a statement when riding up....pretty dang cool!

Absolutely awesome job with this build - VERY well executed! Bike looks super fresh!

Heck of a transformation from your Avatar and signature picture - which both need updated BTW...

Those rims look amazing on your bike. With the gold and chrome lips, they sorta remind me of the old school gold BBS wheels like these:

Would really enjoy seeing more pics of this scoot when you get a chance though!
