It would not take that much to clean that rust off and repaint the whole bike. You would have a real unique show bike for sure. Poweder coat it polini blue and tell people its a 1 off special. :P

Looks fast, probably is fast.


Also a tiltson are the bars that help you tilt in turns better right?

Greetings:

I love the Tilly dangling in the breeze! I know this is a budget project for you, but imagine a hypercharger!

Is the bike itself weigh less than spree or smaller?

Y'know you want to... Scroll up.

It's just a glorified air cleaner, but looks cool and rich chromium plating.

BTW has anyone ever cracked a crankcase using a hardtail strut instead of a damper?

Ive heard of someone snapping a spree case but never a af18/16 case. Gy6 cases snap like twigs and ive heard of various people breaking engine mount spots on motors with hard tail. I advise aginst hard tail because it really messes up your back, im just now learning about bones and the cartliage in your back would happily not like to ride a hard tail.

I'm hardtailed and broke a mount but it could of been a rock or a road hazard that did it... makes a perfectly running motor useless when you can't mount it up.

This bike looks awesome, I love the older Japanese styling. Almost looks like a kids race bike haha. Do the hypercharger! Does it actually have a filter? I want one.

Yes indeed, the Kuryakyn company has sold a Bazillion of these to Harley-Davidson owners. Those who know the product - I've never owned one - say it really does NOTHING to improve performance above the level of the Harley-aftermarket Screamin' Eagle intakes, but they sell like hotcakes anyway, mostly for the looks. They reportedly incorporate a filter of some sort.
