Check your belt tension? Looks tight.

Looks good, frame looks like its got texture black sprayed on? I dig it!

Belt tightness for safe final drive bearings is generally referred to as "Scary Loose". (Which, incidentally, is much less scary than the girl I dated who fit the same description)

I was looking into the belt tension. Seems a little tight but I can with no effort make the belt touch the swing arm on top.


Yes there is a textured black. Too bad when someone did it they didn't care about the over spray. Took me a while to clean that up.....

Need to look into the carbon tank trims and tail pan and maybe the gauge cluster. Think it will be a nice touch. Then led light the rest of the way around.

Also this was a carb conversion. Runs well.

Your decal looks better on Black. All the other color bikes had a diff decal. Thanks for post.

No problem, I switched to a Mukuni hsr in the last few weeks, works performance shock is arriving today. And just had a local HD dealership throw a huge list of parts through the primary and trans as well as a new stator and rotor.

Update: Back in the shop getting top end rebuilt. A hole in the rear piston and shot rings both front and back. Don't know how long things were running this lean.

So over all a poor financial investment but this bike should be square and "like new" after this. It will be a long three week wait then I will break in the motor and have them preform a dyno tune.

Very nice example. But I for one am not I love with the side panels and how much of the motor they cover.
