Just don't whack the throttle open at 9k rpm. You're gonna be wiping your *** with your rear tire.

IMO, the tank looks too big for the rest of the chopped/street-fightered bike.

And you'll be needing new tires soon.

Well it has the possibility to be ok...i guess.

But you got alot of ******* work today...and at LEAST do something to block the back of the seat from the rear tire.

Not really... when was the list time you used your passenger cowell to stay on the bike? Me, never.

Good pick. I like it. My only advice is to get the frame properly powder coated, clean the motor, and get some real paint for the tank and remaining plastic

In the event of an emergency...i would not want to be thrown back down the tire and sucked under. Oh...and my pack holds me in place on the <U>cowl</U> alot of the time.

ALSO, that sprocket is rediculously too big.

THAT LOOKS F$(@&U*#HING AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I dig man. That is tight! The rear part of the seat is pretty functional though, I would look into getting a tiny lip thing put on there to hold you on. Other then that, it is cosmetically stunning....I would rock it in a heartbeat.

i think it looks damn cool—stealthy and purposeful. maybe get a rear hugger to CYA.
and might as well toss out the chain guard.

Oh, I see! Because I know how to ride then my bike must suck or I'm a *****?

Nevermind what your proper body position should be. If you're using your seat cowl to keep you in place then you've got awful form. When accelerating you should be as close to on top of the tank as you can get. Watch superbike, GP, anything, the guys on the 500 2 strokes - they've got inches worth miles of space between their butt and the back of the seat. You should only scoot your butt back during braking and if you can't figure out where your seat ends then you've got bigger problems.

If your flying back then you're holding on with your arms. You should not be holding on with your arms. If you're using your arms to locate your body then you've giving the bike uncessary inputs. Your legs should determine your body control.

I've got 3 bikes. I ride every day that it doesn't snow. I've never had an emergency that has me sitting on my passenger seat cowell or ever coming close.

No you dont. A pile of parts from 3 bikes in a corner doesnt count as 2 bikes.

Nobody said that you sit on the passenger cowl when you encounter an emergency situation....what was said is...

When your back tire gets love tapped from Mrs. soccer mom USA who isn't paying attention on her cell phone, and the bike jumps forward, and your pushed back...you are ******* dead. Period. Your *** hits that tire at speed and i don't care how strong you are...you are going back, down, to the ground, and under said soccer mom's vehicle....

A bike is NOT meant to have a seat like that. Plain and simple. Period, end of story. No bike in production has ever been built like that for SAFETY reasons. Something needs to be done at this point to that seat/rear tire to make it safe...a hugger (if big enough) could solve the problem.

If you get rear ended at speed you have much bigger problems on your hand than the lack of a passenger seat or cowl.
