    If you ask them, they can furnish free flow models for the same look and price.

    Wow, that orange bike is just un-fucking-believable! For myself, I generally am not too wound up over having my bike totally detailed out like that, but sometimes seeing one like that makes me want to do one up proper. Are those rims Borannis? They look just like the ones on my 850 T3 that I'm starting on. Whose bike is that? I'm going to go back to look at that bike again now.

    Playing around with that "unpainted tank" look on one of my projects... it's technically an airhead, but not really an ADV-airhead....

    This looks really nice, but I would not trust that subframe, tha stock subframe is not that strong, but yours looks as if it might collapse the first time you land off a big bump.

    I hope no one gets hurt! It will be a miracle. I alway thought nonsense like that (dangerous for looks) was for choppers but the times they are a changing.

    Hey Jon Lars -
    Were those photos taken different times? The headlight bracket is either different on each side - or you changed them at some point. Which are on the bike now?

    Stephen.... who notices hardware differences :rofl

    Hi, Great Bike! Is that the rear sub and seat tail from VonZeti?
    I've been thinking about buying from them to upgrade my rear.
    I love the shorter seat and tail, but I'm a little concerned because I'm 6'3", I have rear sets installed so maybe it won't be that bad.

    Good job on the noticing, Stephen!
    It's the same bracket. I had painted it black but didn't get a durable finish, so stripped it bare.
