Yes. They are completely open. It's a bit loud, but when riding reasonably they aren't too bad. When you open it up it screams pretty good. If I had a gopro I would record a quick run. It actually sounds like a beast at 7k rpm. I've heard everything from Satan's Porsche to "What the hell...

I got it on the road just before winter. I've got a few thousand miles on it so far but this was a long, cold winter so I haven't gotten a whole lot of seat time. enough to know a few things I want to change. I think I want to change the whole front end to something a bit more modern. maybe...

All of you, please go here and LIKE her photo to vote. Her name is Kristin. Shes the one with the tattoos. If she wins I will try to post her full shoot https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=607754025919984&set=pb.191162250912499.-2207520000.1365953588&type=3&theater Thanks!!

I have found that a stock FLH will top 110 while a nearly stock xl1200 struggles to break the ton. The flh was a lot more composed at speed, too. Above 90 the sportster was kinda scary, whereas I looked down and was surprised to see 110 indicated when the flh ran out of steam.

I may be interested if I can verify that theyll work with my gl. What color are the backlights?

You will have to measure stem lengths, but it looks like USD's from a mid 90's GSXR1100 will fit if you get the entire front end. All-balls has a great tool http://www.allballsracing.com/index.php/forkconversion that shows what bikes use the same bearings. If you measure your stems, and get...

If there is no other damage, then a cam swap is pretty easy on most engines. Might as well go with a hot cam while you're at it.. :D However, if valves are stuck wide open and you keep running the engine, have you damaged the valves/heads/pistons? I am unfamiliar, is the CB750 an interference...

My first bike was a 2007 ZX6 that would break the ton in 3rd. Now I ride a Honda that's older than I am. So some of us are going "backwards" I guess.

What kind of bike do you have, and what front end do you want to swap onto it?

Hell, a Ninja 250r will do it.

Very nice. I really dig it, once my bike is "done" I'll have to look into some pinstriping. Shipping might be doable.

Damn, you got me. My history is a bit rusty, I had forgotten about the thousands of years of peace and prosperity humanity enjoyed that ended when Bush II initiated the crusades, the Great Depression, Euro-Imperialism, the Rape of Nanking, World Wars 1 and 2, the US Civil War, Vietnam, the...

To impress people. I know a lot of less informed people assume the speedo indicates the top speed of the vehicle. My old ZX6 had a 180 mph speedo and people always assumed it would do that. I never managed more than 165 and I doubt it would hit 170 at Bonneville (indicated). I personally...

Wow, I'm imagining the hours of work that would have gone into that wheel, and the hours spent keeping it shiny once on the bike and I cringe.

Hot cocoa. Really hits the spot after a 40* ride home at night.

That would be great. I'm having second thoughts about the DCC Speedo and Tach because they don't light up the same color and apparently they aren't easy to change, but I'll find something.

Awesome, I really like the KZ650's. That was my alternative choice to the GL I ended up with. Good on you for starting a project to teach the next generation. I wish my dad/uncle/grandfather had done the same for me, and I hope to one day do it for someone.

I really dig the removable mount setup. I might "borrow" some ideas from it.

No GL1100? damn...
