Very nice my friend.......Very nice Love the headlights.......How'd you mount them?? If you pull the cover off of the intake will it suck in small animals??? A few birds maybe?? Nice Job......... |

Now that's a nakie bike...i like it.Not too much on the polished stuff,very subtle appealing to the eye.I too am curious about the lights as well(def different than the usual setups)Def gets a thumbs up here...By the way, how's it ride w/ the bars(goin' down the road,wrist feel,and back issues,etc)curious again. |

That's fantastic. The whole thing comes together really well. I LOVE the the tail. Even the things that aren't to my taste were done so well that I still like them. |

Tastefully done. It is just begging for a small round tach on top. |

I LOVE it. Only thing is I think the headlights would look better polished or chrome, otherwise it's awesome. Not getting much breathing through that A/C though... |

Look around for a motoscope mini, with Buell top clamp. It's pricey, but one of the best minimalistic options around. http://www.motogadget.com/en/msm.html Check their clamps for the Buell one they make... |

it looks really nice and unique, I just think you should re-shape the seat to make it fit nice on the bare frame. and you should remove that mesh from the velocity, that way, you're killing the whole purpose of it. very well done... |

Not my style, but I appreciate the look and the work that has gone into it. I like single minded machines, built to extremes to do their job as best they can and I see that in your creation. Nice. Regards Gavin |

I LOVE IT! Just may have an erotic dream or two about your bike tonight! THANK YOU! I wouldn't change a thing. This is what makes it yours. There is ONE bike exactly this in the world! Are your wheels polished or chromed? |

Nice job. I think if you adjusted your levers down a bit it may be more comfortable for you but that's one of those personal preference things I guess. |

id ride the shit out of that, but i would probably make the seat fit the lines of the tubing a little more like has been said. and yes, how do you ride with those levers so high! mine or damn near at a 45 faced to the ground lol. i like it, simple and mean. |

Yea my levers are a bit angled up, you get use to it, i really want to do a triple tree that can accept risers and do a 1-2 inch riser that way i would have just the right amount of room to angle it different. As you can see i cant angle my brake down any more because of clearance. I could go a hair wider on the bars but i don't want to i would like to go even tighter in. |

Just spoke with my good friend this morning and i will most likely pound out a new seat pan witch will make it look way better in that area.... the Corbin is good but like stated above it just doesn't look complete in that area. Always something to do..... |
