Im right in downtown, Curtis park area. Ah Steele's....you know that place was recently sold to a Brit.....rumor has it they are shipping containers of bikes over to the island/Europe....i wounder what will become of the place. IMO they over charge for everything there...plus alot of their bikes have be outside for way to long, and have been picked pretty clean. I use boulder bike works, located ironically in longmont, they are ok on price, have a better attitude in general....but thats me. I have more traditional "biker" friends that seem to make out well at steele's...maybe i need to get more tattoo's...
Oh to answer some more questions about this bike...the oil tank holds about 200ml's more than stock.
All the electronics and battery were somehow fit into that tail.
The forks are powder coated and lowered 1 inch, but i hear the owner is going to re-raise them.
As for the open space....i just like the striped down, barley enough there to run the bike look...to goal here was to keep the bike opened up as much a possible. I absolutely HATE side covers on 750's...and most bikes in general....although the other bike i just finished has them...but the client wanted it that way, and i couldn't talk him out of them
The front fender is a motor cross fender...the client had it and it was given to me in one of his part boxes...it removed about 5 inches of of it.
I painted and then machined down the fins on the motor...this was a real pain...and one know a better way?
