Petrusotto Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) never did a sound clip, so bear with me, I will try one. Its pretty noisy, but a very different sound than my 93 VFR with the Twobros system! only rode the bike only twice due to the bad weather conditions (floods) here in SW England lately. Brakes are great, but a bit unsure about the handling. Needs some adjusting or it might be me. I have a Sv650 trackbike and a Ducati ST4s too and they are great handling bikes. the details are amazing, it was a real craftsman that built this bike. will make some close up pictures if you're interested cheers Edited February 5, 2014 by Petrusotto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrusotto Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 not much change, except I raised the rear by approx. 30mm . Changed the linkage plates. hope this will help the handling. always found the seat height very low, my feet were flat on the ground and knees bend. now it feels better. re-adjusted the front forks as well. test ride tomorrow and hope fully I can do the promised sound track over the bank holiday! cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrusotto Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 sorry dude, cant take credit for building this special. have a look at the beginning of this topic cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Keep an eye on that chain slider. With the swingarm angle that steep, you are bound to rub through it pretty quickly. Have you sprung the suspension for your weight? Having the correct springs and action will make more of an improvement than simply raising the rear up.

Petrusotto Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 thanks Sebspeed. No I have no idea about the springs. only info I have of the bike is what the builder gave us in the beginning of this topic. will look into this when more time pictures of his rear seat/battery location. all very neat dash layout and overflow tank front end with VTR wheels and PVM discs headlamp bracket. custom made and he used same color for all brackets on bike ( exhaust hangers, engine cases etc) exhaust and rear end (home made bracket and I think a non Honda caliper? side picture (hoping to change the ugly water hose and custom made exhaust last pictures: shock and headlamp bracket now I have to work on the sound clip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Great photos, it's good to see the close-up stuff that shows what the builder actually did. A few things I noted: - the steering lock stops look to be well done - the subframe that holds the headlights is interesting! looks like a factory item - centrestand frame tangs have been cut off to give more room for the exhaust (a mod I am about to do myself so great to see) - solid front brake rotors (unusual) - cable tie on fork leg shows that previous owner knew a bit about suspension set-up - rear coils mounted to frame where rear panels are normally bolted up - good spot for them - twin lines to front right caliper? - exhaust headers - I can't quite work out how they are set up but looks like 4-2-2, with front bank and rear bank paired?

Petrusotto Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Great photos, it's good to see the close-up stuff that shows what the builder actually did. A few things I noted: - the steering lock stops look to be well done but quite restricted - the subframe that holds the headlights is interesting! looks like a factory item i think its home made - centrestand frame tangs have been cut off to give more room for the exhaust (a mod I am about to do myself so great to see) - solid front brake rotors (unusual) pfm rotors, great stoppers! modified to suit the VTR wheels - cable tie on fork leg shows that previous owner knew a bit about suspension set-up - rear coils mounted to frame where rear panels are normally bolted up - good spot for them - twin lines to front right caliper? no, 2 into 1 - exhaust headers - I can't quite work out how they are set up but looks like 4-2-2, with front bank and rear bank paired? hi, overall work very professional (not me) But I am selling the bike (see classified) due to concentrating on track days, no time to ride the beauty cheers Edited June 28, 2014 by Petrusotto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Switchblade Posted July 7, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 7, 2015 Man that looks good ^^^. Does it ride as good as looks ? Oh yeah WELCOME ATI !! Glad to have you . Roll On .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATI Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Thanks! Of course! Lifted the tail 1 inch higher! The brake combination (caliper-brake master cylinder) gives a very strong brake power, it is controllable too. You can feel working the brake pads in your brain! Man it works like a blade!
