This thing is killer! I love those tires. Reminds me of the Ducati TerraCorsa

Do you live in a tux shop or something? I lived downtown san diego and remember seeing a shop just like that logo all the time

 

[Ocaspersen]

Hehe... No Finnigan, it started as a joke with the guys a share garage with So we drew up a logo, and that is now what we call our garage :-D We all live in Oslo, Norway...

Looking sharp

Now the assembly has finally started So far I'm very happy with the colorcombo, it works together... The headlight will have to go, think I will replace it with a 5 3/4" or 4 1/2" instead :-D

A lot of wiring is in my close future, that is going to take time :-/ Still some bushings and stuff that has to be made for the rear swingarm. But have to wait until I get the new chain to get it dead straight...

Thats pretty mean looking man. What is the wheelbase on that booger?

 

[Maritime]

Wow, looks great, I agree headlight looks to big, but you could try tucking it in closer to the forks and see if that helps. I think if you tuck it in the size will be fine.

 

[Ocaspersen]

The headlight is so deep, I might move it back another 1/2" - 3/4"... But thats not enough :-/

 

[Maritime]

I see, the back of the bucket will hit the neck before it is deep enough to look right. Gotcha

 

[Ocaspersen]

Thats right... Will be a trip to my local partsstore tomorrow ;-)
