    WHY? Do guys build something that you really cant ride ???

    Is there any kind of an agility test where someone can give a motorcycle a rating. Actually test a bike and put it into a certain class or standard? That way when people bark about how shitty a bike looks like it would handle, they could say "yah it was rated a ??? on the custom bike evolution...

    https://www.facebook.com/motosecrets/videos/1571781133146285/ And you worry about how the bike is built... Like I said you need to know the limitations of the rider AND the bike. Ha!

    Amen to that! If it makes you smile, ride it... An R6 is fun to rip through the gears and hit 150 like right now, and cruisen on a chopper through town with your ass inches from the rear tire and taking a whole intersection to do a u turn, well that makes me smile too. The best time I have...

    I get crap for riding my Honda Shadow with Dunlop 404 tires. Everyone says they are junk tires. Well I dont ride hard enough to find out what the tire can't do. I hear what you all are saying about the Firestone tires but maybe the builder knows the limits and figures the performance limits of...

    When ever anyone post pics of thier just finished ride it seems like its new meat for the blood thirsty hecklers. I started thinking when i open my last J&P Cycle catalog, what would the howling hecklers say about the Yamaha Bolt displayed in this catalog showing off all of the great ideas...

    The reason i used "White" tywraps is because they are free for one and the kind with metal tabs, but mostly because its temporary. I plan on taking the whole bike apart son to get the frame re powdercoated and detail the engine and stuff. Im still tweaking a few things here and there now. When...

    I used the original switch. But replaced 98% of the wiring. The switch powers up the bus bar under the seat. Everything gets power from the bus bar, lights, ignition, blinkers, starter relay, ect. The one thing to remember is the regulator has to be tied into the positve wire between the...

    We use Flitz in avaition. It works great on aluminum to ploish it to a mirror like finish. Tip- use flour as in baking flour on a dry paper towel to wipe off the flitz after polishing. That really takes away the swirl.

    Looks good. It's a lot of work huh. I can see your fingers in the chrome cover. Dirty work too. I wish mine looked that good. Mine were painted by the previous owner. I like the polished look.
