Don't need to - just click the "Search" button, and enter "Fury". The threads it's in are within the first few listed.

I quite like it. But there is just something about the front that looks weak.
Anyone else feel that?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................
Now that you mention it, it is kinda delicate looking.
It's them spindly forks.

Dunno that it's a Bad Thing though...

added to that the elongated tank, narrow frame and big hole between engine and engine frame and tank.

But you are right. It is not necessarily a bad thing. It is just what strikes me about it. Pretty good looking Japanese cruiser though. Probably rather have something like that then the Boulevards.

When I first saw it I wasn't to sure.
It's growing on me now. I can imaginea bundle of
aftermarket parts for it which will allow plenty of "customizing".
The 1300 engine is pretty sweet.

Problem I see is with the raised frame at the front to give it the arch and almost frisco style tank, the bike should be a lot longer to look natural. Or the trees should be lower to the neck and the bars at the same height as they are shown in that picture

Cool, but darn I'd prefer a double disk front end on my cruisers.

Yeah, I think that should be mandatory on all bikes now!

I have to get by with a small single disk on front and a drum brake at rear on my bike :(

Engine looks nice.

Frame and tanks look like lego or some other stuck together shit, would prefer a seamless line from seat to headstock rather than a 1800s tech tube frame with a tank slapped on top.....
