WHOA !!! I said coming off a traffic light, not a drag strip. And certainly not a 1000. I haven't seen anything bigger than a 750 around KK and there so dressed up and loaded with H-D look-a-like gizmo's there too damn heavy to beat a 125 Wave off a light.
Sorry, didn't mean to sound so uppity. I had H-D's in the States so I know what speed vs. weight is. My point was why do so many riders think bigger is better when most of their riding is at normal highway speeds ?
Now, someone give me some idea's on how to turn my little 400 Springer/Steed into a small trike... please..!!

I don't know who those guys are, but I bought my Steed from the big bike shop 9in downtown KK. The owner I think is the President of the KK motorcycle club. I see the young guys there working on choppers, but also i found out who is making the frames, fenders etc, so i went to see him. The kids at the big bike shop just put the pieces together. The guy I saw makes those body parts. He showed me a pic in a magazine of a remake of a vintage bike with a sidecar, so I think the trike idea will work. If not, then its a chopper.
Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply.
Don't waste your money, why not buy a proper bike ? even one of those VFR 400's like Rigger brought, little crotch rockets they are and they go around corners FAST.
If you bugger around with those girly baby choppers you will end up turning homosexual, then you will start wearing earrings and grow a pony tail.
You will be embarrassed when you are dragged off the stop lights by Mum taking the kids to school in her Honda City.
You can't even park them outside a bar because dogs will piss on it & people will take a dump on it, complete waste of time they are.

Only if you keep leaning to the left. The right side of the tyre is completely shagged out.

True, the centre of the tyre is still brand new. While the right side is shagged and the left side you could say worn.
If I was drag racing at the strip. These will have a new lease of life there.

How big is your bottle? How many hits you get out of it?
Have you melted a piston or bent a valve yet?
Do you race for pinks? or should it be green? (Green book)

No reason for this to happen as long as you dont run lean or run into the rev limiter. I will probably end up putting on the quick shift and the little thing that stops you from hitting the rev limit with the bottle open

Should get between 7 -10 runs from 3rd to 6th gear. Going on what the other guys get on the net

Having a quickshifter, is brilliant. I don't know how I managed without one. Just pin throttle to stop, wait for shiftlight to start flashing, click up a gear while still keeping throttle pinned hard to the stop. And never touching the clutch.
Sheer pure bliss.

I would like it but dont really need it, I just have a rich map as a #2 and and have also in riched it again by 10% from 5K to 11K rpm using the touch screen. Alot of the guys are just spraying one jet onto the AIT sensor and are getting away with 20 Hp shots so with the MPS and Dynojet set up I will be good for the 36 Hp shot.
