That guy looks like a right fucking turd.

Yeah but if you zoom in on the gal behind him there is a hint of side boob.

I think you need to start a thread called something like 'F5 Dave's cool customs' and post up pictures of modified bikes you like. I'm getting concerned that you are morphing into one of those people who truly believe that 100% factory is the only way.

I too and not a fan of pipe wrap. On a race engine - fine, it's there for a reason, on a road bike it will just rot your pipes.

Firestones (often called Fuckstones on the net) are something I just ignore now, changing tyres is easy.

Hot leg - meh I ride a Ducati, it's nice on the right leg mid winter. Interesting here I removed the factory heat shield for the rear header because I did not like the way it covered the lovely pipe and made up my own smaller more discrete shields that exposed a lot more of the pipes. Then polished the F out of the stainless pipes, that have now turned a quite beautiful colour. Anyway, the smaller shields I've made don't increase the heat on the leg to any noticeable degree. I almost wonder if it's fractionally cooler due to improved air flow. Go figure, looks heaps better but would upset 'Mericans as the dumb fucks would probably touch the hot pipe!

Nah I appreciate a 100% rest but I'm unlikely to do one. I like
95%,looks like new
But non obvious upgrades.
I also lie specials and have built a couple. Let' see if I can post picture for your derision for humour sake.

Nah it's a drag on the tablet to post. . .
today I was dynoing my RG/RGV/RZ 496cc 2 stroke - a mongrel of several bikes. But when it's
Finished it should actually be a fast good handling road bike and reasonable to look at. Target 100hp, 140kg. Target 1 pretty much done. Haven't weighed it yet.

I can't see the point in shitters that will be crap to ride. Mine will be practical. . . Except for the premix and horrific fuel consumption.

Agree 99%.

99 as I have a 1% desire for a real old school, hardtail panhead chopper.

It says 'Single Banger' - more like 'Gang Banger'

I think you're right. It's so far over the mudguard, it will probably get chain fling on the under side. Hopefully it is more than just foam.

I like the headlight set up for possum hunting.
And why oh sweet baby Jeezus are the bars on that queer-as angle?

I reckon this is good buying and if I hadnt bought that earlier 750 might have a tilt at it.

LOL I have a screensaver on my work computer of a similar bike. Its the bike I used to draw in maths class in the back of my exercise book with all the wee squares in it.

Yeah but can you imagine riding a bike where your thumbs are angled down? Over bumps?
Why did he adjust them like that? Didn' he notice the first time he got on?.

Ironically it may work OK when standing on the pegs? Ironic as it currently features a couch of a seat, so why stand.
