Insane, or quite possibly the goofiest thing you have ever seen a goldwing doing to a car (towing it, not running into or making love to it :) )

I sat on this bike up at Moto Milano in Windham Maine yesterday as I dropped off an old clutch cable that needed to be re-made.

It was screaming "Buy Me, Buy ME"  no salesman necessary.

Yeah duc's SCs are awesome, espcially the PS. But I got some emails from owners requesting for us to make alloys tanks for it. It seems that the stock polycarbonate tanks are bubbling up and GT1000s tank's have warping problems. I guess the strong ethanol is causing it. Even with the tank problems,  i would still buy one.

If thats the case they won't like ethanol fuels, it eats the plastic.

There's actually a thread in one of Duc's forum where owners are talking about asking for donations from fellow sport classic owners to make the castings to replicate the stock  polycarbonate tank, and mass produce alloy tanks for a more affortable price.

First bike I ever built started life like this...


When the customer was finished losing his mind and his $$ it looked like this...

Granted it's a different color now that it was after it left my shop. But it's pretty much the same bike. Guess he's selling it now.

cool bike!
i'd like to see the rear a little higher though... just a simple shock adjustment... and if that's my only gripe, good on ya!

side note: carrera4 just screeeeemed by my office window... mmmmmm porsche

So would I... but He's done a few things to it since I built it. I'd be worried that the rear would come up and slap the tail.
