is the seat angle comfortable? or does it make you slide forward?


well from the minimal amount ive actually sat on it so far.. just to push it around the garage and what not, It feels pretty comfortable actually.. the high rise bars keep you pushed back and in the seat well... has a real dirt bike feel to it almost, and then you look down and see the v-twin sitting under there.. makes me want to do wheelies with it.. haha
 
Awesome dude Tires def give it that BEEFED up touch and that twin will absolutely rip ....you thinkin of going traditional cafe headlight....or street fighter....or front fairing?
 
well I really wanted to run a dual projector, vertically and offset to one side.. then I thought it would be cool to do it like the bott xr1, and run a number on the front of the plate, something ending with an "8" like "38".. then cutting the holes out in the 8 so the projectors shine through, but keeping the cutouts or making some lens covers so during the day I could snap them back on and it would just look like a number plate, but then in the evening, I could pop them off and there are the bulbs.. kind of like the hella covers or whatever... just not sure. that all seems so similar to the bott xr1 and I don't want to be "that guy" I suppose... IDK either way should look pretty awesome.

The 8 idea seems bad ass.... should be the easy part 2

for sure... maybe ill just have to be that guy.. will look similar, but different in its own trashier/less CNC'd parts kind of way. haha

nothing wrong with a DIY custom headlight....and the XV is probably faster than that harley

I don't care if its faster, I wanna see him go from the pavement to the dirt and hang with me! hahah
 
Exhaust idea:

From this thread (but don't mount your rear shock to the cylinder head like he did):

looks good for sure, but im trying to decide whether or not to bring the two into one, or just run a simple straight pipe setup out the brake side... im open to all opinions.. keeping in mind, this thing is mean looking, and should sound mean as well. haha.
 
I do have the MAC pipes and they're kind of farty. Don't know that I would suggest that route.
 
Niche Cycle on Ebay sells a decent 2-1 for these bikes that works pretty well and sounds meaty......
 
Check on ebay, that's where I have seen it most. I'm at work or I would dig for you.....
 
nothing big to report, last night I did manage to clean up the replacement side cover and painted it black to match the motor, as well as picked up a heli-coil kit to fix the stripped threads in the bottom of the case from when the bike fell over. Thursday rich (Richard) is heading up to town and we are going to wire the bike up, pretty excited about that. still searching locally for some bends to do the exhaust, hoping to hear back from a shop today.
 
oh I did however fail to mention I found this little guy on the magnet.... although I did a pretty thorough inspection and didn't come across any broken teeth.. there was some visible gasket maker so im wondering if the side case was cracked open and had a repair in the past.. all the gears looked to be in good shape with no mentionable wear on any gears.

Check the timing gear behind the flywheel rotor - there are two gears, one fat, one skinny (the skinnier in front). It looks to me like a tooth from the skinnier of the two...which may not be a big deal, given that the two are pretty well secure against one another.

will do.
 
so after some tackling with rewiring the stator, I'm trying to get the cover back on and it seems to be hitting something on the backside... any suggestions? am I forgetting something?
