fun fact, Japanese v-twins are not meant to sound like HDs. by lowering the idling RPM the oil pump can't properly lube the engine... the bike looks fantastic. ride safe, have fun

Unless its a single pin crank which honda has made and was evem sued by harley for making but ultimately lost because single pin cranks are common. How ever if its a duel pin than yeah you dont want to have the idle that low.

Not sure on the tires. They were on it when I bought the original. There are some brands that make something close to a bobber. Triumph has their Bonneville Bobber, Harley's closest is probably a sportster, Indian Scout and so on. They aren't this style though.

@jcurtiscustomsАй бұрын
I am also 6'3, so yes, you will fit just fine ha! The forward controls make it more comfortable than other cruisers IMO. My only complaint was there is a little lack of power with the 600 if you do a lot of highway riding. Cruises at 70 no problem, but much over that starts to over rev. It was awesome around town though.
@yettibАй бұрын
Very beutiful bike, been looking into them but they seem a little uncomfortable to ride in for a long time for someone that is 5,11 or over, can someone tell me about it.
@jcurtiscustomsАй бұрын
Thanks! I am 6'3" and the height was never an issue. Granted, I did move the seat back a little when I was building it. That said, the bobber style bike is never really going to be great for long rides due to the seat. This one has more cushioning than most, but after an hour, it's still a bit rough.

That sucks. Luckily most things on motorcycles are easily salvaged / repaired as long as they aren't too rusted out. Carbs can be cleaned, shocks rebuilt, etc. Usually as long as the motor is good and the frame isn't destroyed, you can make something decent out of it.
