You need to take off one of those rotors so you can see the new Billet 30" wheel, maybe with LEDs for spinners. Than you have those Fugly black 8 oz fender and what is up with those 17" tires, who needs them anyhow, they do not even come in white walls.

A bike that changes suspension settings as it rides via computer & engine called >Mechatronics< is a big waste of money as that money could be better put to use buying more novelty helmets, doo rags, chained wallets, a vest with patches & pins to prove you have been there. The forks look ugly because they are not chromed, raked way out, and cost way too much. I will stop right there and say you really need to get rid of that Jap Crap, let me give you the address for free disposal.

DISCLAIMER: If anyone knows me, do not take this post seriously, I am doing it for humor.

Da-Rza 21 I am currently doing the same for my 124CI Bagger. Trying to make it the lightest as possible. Already have the thing you see below.




Trying everything to get it lighter. Composite fenders 8.5 OZ (F) you see. Currently have the SS up the water jet for light but very strong brackets, the ones you see are just to hold the fender on for a lot of R&D needed. Naturally 30mm in them as I have a lot of experience with them. My trees do double duty with either inverted forks or 49mm conventional w/30mm inside. I am designing this as a Road King as the hardest to do is a Road King. My trees work just fine with them and 3 member's already have them on their RK for around one year. TJ316 has his on the road for more than 3 years now.

I think I will either use these 13" CMM or I have a set in the box of the CMC 320's. I am waiting for Jeff to pack back my forks, trees, and wheel as we are doing this project 320 either spoke or hub mount using stock OEM Bagger Brembo's with adapters for those who want a much better system. I figure I like brakes but keep in mind, you really do not need great brakes until the very end anyhow, as you already know. These will be released in a few weeks:


I guess by now I just do not have enough bikes to put a big wheel on it.

Very nice work- looks awesome! To your concern about the gyro effect, it can be quite easily overcome with a bit of knowledge of counter- steering. I think I remember reading a thread on that.....
