just read every page of this thread.. made me sick for work tomorrow but man you have built one sick *** scoot!! givin me some ideas for my wide glide as well as the ol gs 750 my pops rides

 

Have you considered a reduction on the rake?
Not much else there other than that as far as shortening it. Unless you drom the forks by an inch?

 

Nah, I aint gonna start tryin to make this bike handle great, It aint gonna happen. I am pretty satisfied with the performance gains I got.


Dont know if anybody saw the "pipes" thread I started. Was considering trying something else. Decided to just trim a few inches off the short shots. Not a big diff, just diff, maybe even uglier. I dont know.....bored.

Now time for some 45* bends and some high fishtails!

 

Nah, no fishtails soft.


Ice and snow......no ridy!!!! Me saddy!!

 

So I had the day off. Cant ride, going a little stir crazy. Started to watch chopper vids on youtube. Saw an idea I figured I would rip off. Went out in the garage with some beer, paint and a little brush. Painted the raised letters on my tires white. Sorta to go with the "hot rod" theme.

 

I wish I had the time to read through all 80 pages. Your bike is really coming along and looks great!

 

tire paint's legit!

 

So I am S/B on Rt8 today in the left lane near exit 37, wide open, side by side with a tractor trailer. We suddenly get into a little bit of icy run off from the cliffs on the right shoulder. I smash the throttle, bang her down a gear and the rear end starts to break loose. I regain my traction and ride out of it in a wheel stand!!!!


Ok, the story was 80% true, maybe not the wheel stand part!!!


Gonna snow this weekend. Cant stay off the bike any longer!!!!!!!!!

Live Fast,Ride Fast.


Little bit-o-road salt!!!!!!

 

Ida paid to see that!!!
