Been to the track many times.. w/ many different bikes.. determined that it is too expensive of a hobby.. I can hone my riding skill just as well riding on my own.

Here's my last track bike converted for street use:

Ripping it up with liter class sportbikes on the track:

I get my adrenaline pumping by riding my bicycle.. you can crash just a hard.

I think it's a very attractive bike, Suzuki did a good job.

The more naked bikes available the better, too many cookie cutters ...

That has got to be annoyingly loud.

Which is why it is gay. Because you are being obnoxious. Which makes people think that everyone on a sport bike is a tool.

This is one of the main reasons I detest most harley riders. For some reason, they think running open pipes is awesome. And when I had an apartment close to a fairly major road, they were the ONLY vehicle you could hear from my place. Not something I need to hear at 3am every night.

Not as loud as may think!

Yeah, so? what about your tail tidy brcket? how's it working out for you?

SalisburyGuy · 10-14-2009, 08:41 PM

so... jeesh.. It's working out so well! I don't know what I would do if I didn't have it. I think it's a keeper! I won't tear it off and install the stock tail section ever again.

How are the turn signal mounting points?

Are the turn signals aimed properly with the tail tidy?

How is the key lock relocation?

Got any detailed pictures?
