Member Contributer Rice Posted April 19, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted April 19, 2017 I like it. Especially the amount of effort involved. Good job. Just don't add chrome or polished stuff. Keep it dark. Not that it matters in this case, but I wonder how much it weights and how it handles. In other words, is is comfortable to ride?

Spraintz Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Flat black and Honda Electron Blue Pearl (matching blue that's on the pressure plate and front wheel) will be the colors Haven't weighed it yet......but so far, feels way way lighter than a few of my friend's bikes....one being a Yamaha Raider. Handling.........this sucker rides like a champ......very very comfortable, tracks straight as an arrow......and turn in is remarkably nice considering how long this sucker came out lol.

Spraintz Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 this was the very first test ride......tank wasn't even done........chain wasn't yet tensioned lol(you'll hear it during shifts)......and the engine mounts weren't even tight yet. But peer pressure......the guys were like "ride it man!!!..ride it!!!" so of course, I had to oblige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Nice work bud, glad you found yourself a cover! Can't wait to see the details sorted. How's the cooling doing with just the one rad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JZH Posted April 23, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted April 23, 2017 The slower you go, the more you need another radiator! Or one bigger one, maybe...you've got plenty of room for one, though. Very nice job. Love the cam gear whine combined with the VFR growl--perfect sound track for a "power cruiser", IMHO.

Spraintz Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 While the coolant system is currently functioning and cooling......yes, I already have a larger radiator in hand and waiting to go in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MorganSteele Posted May 18, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm reminded of: The lone biker of apocalypse. A man with all the powers of Hell at his command. He could turn turn the day into night and lay to waste everything in his path. He was especially hard on little things - the helpless and the gentle creatures.
