Thoughts on tail being higher? I think it looks properly tasty, and that's all that matters, but you can always interject and I'll let you think I care about your opinion

I'm happy with the look and the riding position. It's just right for my 5 ft 7 (with shoes) manly awesomeness.

How far will you get before sore wrists and cramp in your legs???

**ducatilover** · 12th October 2012, 20:57

Well... uh... probably not very far

Who cares? It looks tits and it's not like I ever ride it anyway

So does the bike.

Mounted the seat and did a few other little things, so it looks teh same, but won't fall apart

Switched the ignition on (mmm RFID tag, win) and the fan for the reg/rec shat itself.
Thankfully I'd just snaffled four more... so I threw another in. The fan motor itself had shat out, so incase vibrations had fucked it, I rubber mounted it.

Will be off on a decent ride tomorrow, no-matter the weather. Gotta get this bitch dirty

I know the feeling, I'm hoping for a decent bit of weather this weekend. 140k until I overclock the cylonbros, figure a decent ride to mark the occasion is in order...

Might not be comfy enough for a proper big ride like that, I'd be stopping every 50km for a smoke and whinge

Mine's got 40 thou to go till then

You free tomorrow? We could do the track (I doubt it'll be worth it with this weather) I'm heading to Bunnythorpe, but might take a long way, depending on how long I can hack the riding position

That's a tasty headlight unit and bracket setup, are they aftermarket or pillaged from another bike?
Dunno if my eyes are wonky but it looks a bit smaller than your standard 7" round headlight, like 6" or 6.5"?

I have been contemplating (someone slap me) selling this one when it's done for a nice twin... a VTR thou suits me down to the ground (no, not in a crashing sense)
The 600 is silly fun, but to enjoy the engine one really must be rather silly, and I'm not making the gearing any shorter, it's short enough in 1st as it is.

thats great mate yes i think you can enjoy any bike yes the vtr is on my radar too love the sound

of them and love the engine cases they look neat, i know sounds really werid but engine look means

alot to me.

They are an excellent looking motor, I'm a huge fan of the twin radiators

Cheers man, design isn't my thing, I'd rather be knees deep in building it.
I did ace graphic design at school though
