What Kiwis do to 750's
« on: March 28, 2010, 10:10:14 AM »
I'm just glad I haven't seen any before shots of this bike as I would desperately love a 750 myself, the finished product has merit but not what I want to do the whole South Island on in comfort.

I don't get it.  The bike just looks to truncated like the back end is just chopped off and unbalanced.  To each his own I guess.

That is one big megaphone, looks a little big for the application.

it's a good looking bike overall.  There are a couple things I would do differently - a Kerker with a 6" silencer would make that short seat/tail look less out of place, and might make the whole thing work, or a different seat and tail could save the huge megaphone (though I doubt it).


Couple things look REALLY nice on it though, and attention to detail seems there.
