I heard from harley guys that solid wheels like that suck in crosswind.  any kinda side wind wants to blow you off the road, and thats on a harley.

But that bike is freakin sweet!!!

I got used to the cross wind the first time it scared the #$%* outta me. Won't blow you off the road just make you think it's coming out from under you but they sure look nice chromed.

I didn't know a standard 750 engine has 85hp as they state. ::)

How's school coming along Ben?

yeah still lurkin M8, i am studying full time still, but am in the clinic this year so all the hard work is starting to show some practical applications...haha.

the F1 is on blocks in storage till i get home at the end of next year, and my g/f's dad is turning it over once a week for me, so dont have to worry about tide marks in the bores.

yeah really loved the bikes on this site and thought i would share, can anyone from OZ remember a mag wheel company called dragway wheels?, they had one called the indy, i reckon those solid wheels with 5 big holes in the would look sweet.!!!!

ok heres a pic of one.



wooot

The wheels have old harley style wheel covers on them. They are regular spoked rims with aluminum spun wheel covers.

There was a guy over on the JockeyJournal.com that was making them....they are nice.

That's a 750, right? Where did they stash the oil tank AND all the electrics? Under the cowl?
