[seanocono]

Really nice, nate. Your patience paid off.

[natehate]

thanks boys
jack i;ve been collecting parts already
but got way more to get
haifley brothers hardtail is on the list, right near the top ( http://haifleybros.blogspot.ca/ )
and a springer front end
18 rear (got a 21 with it and i have another 21 hoop and spool hub siting here)
and all the odds and ends

[injunjack]

Sounds good….

Just stay away from DNA springers, they are butt ugly

[natehate]

no i know, hoping to get a v twin repop or a original
the dna's are ugly as fuck fart and not overly well made

[injunjack]

IF Vtwin repro is a made in Poland version, be warned….they look nice but I wouldn't trust them. Seen some bent and broken ones around here....too waek metal used on those polish made springers.

Your best bet is oem, be it old or from newer one....

just my 2 €cents

[natehate]

thanks
right now i gotta focus on rejetting the carbs and getting some baffles in the exhaust. i want it to run and have the most power it can not just be loud

I feel them same; the springer on my bike was bent to hell after an unfortunate mating session with a Toyota.  I sent it off to some dude in Nor Cal and he straightened it out, with only minimal damage to the chrome!  This is an older pic, but the fix has been sound for years now, and I attribute that to the high quality of the factory fork.  But you better be prepared to open your wallet…  BUT, just like with jeans, boots, leather goods, etc by having a quality item to start with I was able to get it repaired for a low cost ($300.00) vs. buying a new assembly ($2,500.00), so I guess I'm saying what IJ said, just in a rambling way!

Unit Garage are offering a conversion kit to make your nice, shiny BMW R1200R look like an old fashioned R120R. I'm mildly tempted…

The also do something similar for the R1200GS. This one actually knocks 6 kg off the bike's weight!

KTM SM-T, my new ride to work.  I've had a lot of twins, 5 harley's and a Ducati.  The KTM is by far the best. 

[summ3rhays]

Sweet ride. I really like the KTM bikes.

Sweet-ass KTM, 7t!  The LC8 engine is hard to beat!  And I'm with you - I love my 2006 950 Adventure (code name Big Mama) more than any other bike I've owned!  Well, maybe not as much as Black Betty…

Speaking of Betty, I got a good soaking today and thought of Nate and his potential upcoming springer front end purchase...  This old trick works pretty well when its raining and you're not running a front fender!

Love your site, sending the Panerai straps to a buddy

[Bluegrass]

I'm a Harley guy but appreciate all things on 2 wheels - I spied these in front of a bar…

Closer look at the R65

Closer look - not sure what this one is. hard to see but note the solo saddle.

Really striking… beautiful bikes.
