mswans said:Are you just worried about nailing it while walking around the bike or mounting/dismounting? Sharp edges were smoothed up before it was painted. This pic was a just test fit. A simple license plate frame has also been ordered.
xb33bsa said:all of the above how you cannot see that that plate will hurt you in the end is beyond me ...use some sense ,man !! its gonna trip you and throw you down
deviant said:There are only ten thousand or so bikes with a plate mounted that way. Must be a major source of worldwide injury.
xb33bsa said:all done by idiots in my opinion, its just a really stupid place to mount a plate especially on the left side and especially with a bike that is very likely going to be pushed more than ridden under power
hey but i am clumsy and could hurt myself on a standard motorcycle so i don t need any help

Aren't you worried about giving up some road comfort though?
mswans said:Well, who all here likes dual sport tires? Am I going to love these or regret them? At first I thought the rear tire looked a little on the narrow side, but other than that I'm liking the looks. If this bike can decently navigate some gravel roads in moderation, I'll be making use of it for sure.

I have run those duel sport tires on a bike before, and though I sold it and didn't ride it much I thought they were fine tires.
I see you want to be able to navigate gravel roads, so in that respect, they make sense. In every other respect, I'm not sure how they found their way onto a turbo-charged hardtail. I probably would have gone with street tires but that's because I wouldn't want to take a hardtail on dirt roads... but if you do, more power to you!
