    I understand perfectly. I'll be wrapping some zip ties on the forks when i get home....... would a steering damper be a good investment to minimize the likeliness of bump steer occurring? I see them on almost every super sport but never on a wing. not that it would be instead of a fork...

    such talent...... Other than the calipers my GL doesn't say Honda anywhere, I love the guessing game with the general "I have no idea what Im looking at" public. Do you think you'll strip the badges or advertise the mix?

    '85 Norton Interpol 2 - Wankel Cafe Racer

    Loving this bike.... Wish it was on the same side of the ocean as me to see it in person when finished.... I do have to say, that's about the most convenient placement of a drain I've ever seen..... Is that what sold you the house. ;D

    AUGUST 2014 - DO THE TON BIKE OF THE MONTH - VOTE!

    All very nice bikes..... I have Honda in my heart but the Beamer is just gorgeous..... I can't ignore the big displacement and tho Im not a fairing guy, the overall lines of that bike just flow so smoothly...... got my vote. Great build
