Paint vht rollbar & chassis satin black it was tricky to get them back in the lower tree without scratching em up.

Got it out today for first ride slowly around the block got back gave it a once over then went a few miles down the road and back on the freeway. Suspension worked great brakes alot better. Changes direction very quick and easy. Rode great. Taller gearing was good 4500 at 70mph 5500 gets you 90+

and that along with the longer swingarm really helped the first gear wheelies. Only problems was shift lever to high will adjust that, header did hit the ground on a fast hard right on the on ramp.

Been watching the progress. Just fascinating. Great bike. Looks and sounds like it will give superior service for years.

It looks good but the exhaust is problematic. a standard GS exhaust would probably fit that assuming you can sort out the flanges. Deep slots would work.

Yosh is remaking the old duplex pipes out of stainless so I'm gonna save up and run this till then just can't be to aggressive on right curves. Rode it again today can't get over how much better it is.

Comment?

The Stainless Yoshi will be really nice. Only, I wonder if it will fit or not as you had to extend the spigots?

Got it back on the scales today was 480# last year now... ( drum roll please).... 465# I'm impressed didn't think it would drop that much but I'll take it.

**Guest** · 05-17-2013, 10:15 PM

The numbers look good front is 52% rear 48% can't see it in this pic as its on wheel weights with the stand on the third pad. I balanced it straight up and had 48% rear couldn't take a pic during that.

Nice power to weight ratio.

I'll be interested in your comments about any discernible frame flex once you start to push the bike some. And if adding the weight of frame bracing would be worth it to possibly mitigate what may be a small amount of flex.

Low relative weight, good power and good riding position on a naked/standard bike; a very appealing combination. Nice job.
