Cool project for sure! My first "real" bike was a 99 shadow A.C.E. 750, which shares the same power plant. I rode it for years and it was a great bike. Not alot of power, but it was comfortable enough and reliable as could be. I never had the first mechanical issue with it. Looking forward to...

Just got caught up on this thing. I love it. While i know next to nothing about the Ducati bevel drive cam singles, other than that they are Ducati bevel drive singles, I have always though that they were one of the prettiest motors that were surrounded buy a less than great looking "everything...

Thanks for the info. I was looking at a V7 stone, but in a strange turn of events, My dad ended up seeing one and I think he may end up buying one instead of me, and Ill end up purchasing his 05 Buell XB12S that hes replacing it with. He just turned 62 and is wanting a bit more relaxed of a bike...

I recently found a deal on a 2000 model Suzuki GFS1200 "Bandit" that had sat for a couple of years. The carbs cleaned up pretty well, though they gave me a bit of trouble with a few seized pilot jets. It also got a brake/ clutch fluid flush and an oil change, which rendered it more or less road...

It's no secret that the feed and projects have slowed down overall on DTT over the last few years, but this thread reminds me of the feeling of eagerly awaiting build updates from it's hay day! I'm not on here as much as I used to be, but every time I open it up, I hope to see another amazing...

Not a ton to update on the bike, but I'll put what I have on here. I'm not getting as much riding is as I would like to be this summer, as I'm doing the dad stuff this summer. Im a bit north of 300 miles and started to play with jetting on the mikunis a bit. I'm currently at 195 on the mains...

Sorry man, completely missed this reply somehow! The outside width is just shy of 5" (4 15/16" on an un calibrated tape measure) They are a pretty sturdy fiberglass construction that lend pretty well to cutting and shaping as well. Mine was given to me by an old head here @Kanticoy at barber...

What do you think of it so far? I'm currently contemplating a lightly used 2021 V7 stone 850

Picked up this leather Highway 21 Murtgaugh riding jacket at a local bike shop today. The owner is a friend of mine, and doesn't deal much with appearal, though he got this in a deal from a distributor friend of his. It was his display jacket and is new old stock. Though it's not "vintage" the...

Looking forward to seeing it with the bags too. Bummer about the final drive, always a pain chasing down those annoying little things after redoing the whole bike.

Much thanks! Pics hide some flaws as always. There is still plenty of evidence of the 100k miles that the bike has gone lol The fenders were cut down from a single OEM front. I had gotten it from a friend at barber one year. Cut it, shaped it and mounted it to the fork brace on the front and...

Made it there and back again with @ridesolo . Great turnout and weather for the DGR 2025! Both bikes did well.

Thanks @doc_rot ! I put all the stock parts on the shelf. At this point, I've cut nothing on the frame, so if I (unlikely) want to go back to stock, I can. My son may want to someday as well, who knows? Rode the bike to work today with a couple of Co Workers, both cool dudes in spite of riding...

Even though I have been actively telling myself "no more bikes/projects" I couldn't pass this one up. I recently picked up this 2021 Coleman ctu200-ex. A kid had bought it new leftover a few years ago from Tractor Supply and rode it around a bit, before the rear axle nut loosened up and let the...

Thanks Guys! Im with ya on the mirror. I ended up looking back over my shoulder more times than I could count. That mirror is temp until these come in tomorrow though: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072BQJ63D?psc=1&smid=A268OGM9K7GWGH&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp The one thats on it now is better than...
