I think it looks more like a drag bike or a speed bike than a cafe racer now. Seems like it would be very stable at high speeds.
 
Re: "The Repsol" new pictures again 2/5/11

Pheller: I agree, I think it changed from cafe to just Somekind of custom sport/speed thing going on. I dig it.

Justin: nope,I stopped playing with the band a bit ago, turns out it's more drama than teenage girls in high school lol.

Not to completely derail your thread, but I know exactly what you mean. I played in a couple of regional touring bands. All I wanted to do was drink beer, hang with the boys, and get up on a stage and play music. I didn't want to worry about taking time off of work, paying for our own tour, whether or not the new riff should go from A to D or A to E. Then came absolute control freaks telling you exactly what to play, how to play it, etc. Fuck it.

Again, the scoot looks excellent, sir.
 
Re: "The Repsol" new pictures again 2/5/11

exactly dude, i just wanted to have fun, play music for the love of music, but i went through the same thing, sucked the fun right out of it, i especially didnt agree with spending a ton of cash to play and not get paid. that was just rediculous to me. but yeah man, screw it, we dont need a band.
plus motorcycles help fill that extra space of creativity needed. combined with music its like a mega dose of a creative outlet and escape from ones mind.

and thanks dude!

Josh, I know I'm asking a lot here, but can we get a closer pic of that steering stabilizer set-up?
 
Re: "The Repsol" new pictures again 2/5/11

Sure man, no prob il try and get it in a few hours.
 
Re: "The Repsol" new pictures again 2/5/11

Ok, sorry I took so long but here it is, snapped the photo before walking into work this morning.
The damper is mounted by an "L" shaped bracket which I also shaped to the area of the frame where it would be bolted to.
This was made from some metal from the hardware store, just gotta make sure it's not flimsy so that when it is bent and cut to size it becomes harder to move.
Then the other end of the damper is attached to a thread hole on the lower triple.just screwed right in.

hey guys, got a chance to snap some new pics, not the ideal quality as i wish i could have shot it with my medium format equipment, but film prices and developing costs and getting higher and ad a 25 mile drive to the nearest lab, and well it gets expensive.. hopefully soon il be picking up a nice digi slr, but for now, here a few quick pics and video.... hope you guys dig them!
changes on the bike since last are just grips, some modifying to the exhaust, and brushing chrome to look like brushed nickel .. cant think of anything else, but whatever haha..
