I've got them on my CB550.. Being lanky(6ft) they suite me well and give me a slight fwd lean. Ideal for around town, punting back roads and the odd gravel stretches. Fine at normal open road speed as well plus some. Traveling at nearly walking pace is a piece of piss as well. The handle bar switch bloks don't bash the tank lock to lock either like drop bars would. Of course the clubmans are hidden by the bikini fairing which shifts more air than you would think. The foot pegs are in the perfect riding position. I've done 90.000 plus kms on my 550 and I haven't had any issues during full day/multi-day rides. The new brake/clutch levers make things even better.

Comes complete with two rain gauges.https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/mot...2ec2574c58-010 Looks like it was originally a CSR.

We've done that one, yes the pipes will fill up with water . Paint looks lovely. But calipers and carbs should never be red. Reminds me of those gawd awful GS650 gaytanas.

Lol, think they might be dreaming on the price! Looks like quite a good redo of a crashed bike, and poss would have been worth more in std trim...

Nah, they started with a stocker and modded it. There was a competition amongst Honder dealers a few years back. Casbolts have still got their one or did last time I was in there. Its got a cafe seat and trimmed in cowhide (yup, really). I thought someone should do a Mad Max one with big MX forks and wheels and a bash plate and stuff but no one did.

Basically Blue Wang did what they always do: ruined any possibility of volume sales by pricing something too high. I was fizzing at the bung for these bikes (and the bloody advert was filmed in NZ) then we only got the peasant pack one and it was $20k. theres longish thread on KB about it. Fucking disappointing it was. Blue Wang didnt import the v2 of the bike at all (six speed, ABS on both wheels not just the rear (seriously...) and a few other tweaks. They are dicks.

Also those fucking shocks are on backwards.
