Some people are like slinkys....
no real use but it makes you smile when they fall down stairs!

 

Ride what you like. I like my 883 custom and I couldn't care less what
anyone else thinks. It goes in tomorrow for the 883 to 1200 conversion. I
could have done it myself but I am short of time at the moment so I am
willing to pay to get it done. As I am retaining the 883 sprockets
(pulleys) it should be fairly quick off the line when the conversion is
done. The way I look at it, whatever you buy somebody here will says its
crap so just get what you like and enjoy it.

"Borg to be wild" (1)

Nice bike. Really.

(1) apologies to Steppenwolf.

 

Which part? (Other than the typo).

 

OK, what have you done.

And welcome to the UKRM chapter

 

2004 rubber mounted engine. I'm having the dished Wiseco pistons fitted so
the engine balance shouldn't be affected much and I can keep the 883 heads.

 

Nobody criticizes Gixxer 1000, 750 or early ZX-10R's!!

 

Ooh, shiny!

I likes it. A chunky chopper has a certain appeal. Fnarr.

 

It's very pretty.

As a conversation piece whilst having a meal it's ideal.

You're not going to actually ride it are you ?

 

I bought one once......never again.

Not so much as a chapter more like a sentence.

 

They are all crap - satisfied?

 

I am now

 

HD, bless 'em, stopped matching the cranks to piston weight years ago,
now (well, to 03 anyway, I'm pretty sure 04-on are the same) they do one
crank which is "balanced" roughly midway between 883 and 1200 piston
weights.

Good eh?

 

I say old chap, thats a bit strong isn't it?

 

Nice. Obviously, you buy a bike like that for its looks rather than,
say, handling or performance, and it does look like a beauty, doesn't
it?

If I had unlimited funds and garage space, I'd have a collection that
included something similar for sure.
