first bike,first build,whatcha think

[cody3935]

my bike only weighs 20 pounds so its hardly noticable on the back there. tim tom this makes you the 6th person in a week who has called it a ninja turtle not what i was goin for be whatevs ha. i kinda like the red but thats me. im not worried about what anyone says i built this for me not yall i was just curious what yall thought

Not a big L fan, but I am a bicycle guy myself so I understand wanting to have it all. I'd like to come up with some kind of fork mount for my MTB's but don't think it will work on either of my bikes.

Like the paint, too, although I never even thought of the ninja turtles.

Buddy, bike rack on a bike???? Love it. YOU, are an original.

charlie im out by fayetteville. bigL? why not just put a trailer on for your mtbs .but yea ive riden it with and without my bike on it a little bit since i havent gotten it regestered yet and i just broke my foot :'( .but you cant tell to much of a diference i guess cuz the weight is so low and its only 20 pounds. ya know set 20 pounds on your back seat and take your bike for a spin, it wont really make a difference. plus a bike is pretty big but if you look at all of the surfaces that actually get hit by the air its acually pretty aerodynamic, everything is round tubing.i just need to remember i have about an arms length on each side of me that i need for clearance ya know so i dont hit **** with my bike lol.katman thanks thats more like what i was expecting to hear

Personally, I like the bike rack, and a quality bicycle isn't very heavy. I have stuff for a surfboard mount, but haven't tried it...

Too afraid of wind.

How about the jetting with those open carbs and cherry bombs?

550L's don't feel pain when you cut them anyway.

I like it it is original, I have played with the idea of a small ladder rack on a bike for a joke, just don't know if I have the nads to try and ride it down the road. Don't mind the haters it's yours , it is your build . like the colors

Did someone say Kayak rack?

Did someone say Kayak rack?

Tom, Is that the GS'er that went to Europe? Longbeard?

Yep, Snowbeard on my old brick I had in Scotland. He's riding the heck out of it down in Portugal.
Happy to see it go to good use.

It's a gigantic side cover!

That's funny... your sissy bar looks just like mine:


When did you build this bike?

[cody3935]

yea i rejected the carbs with 102.5 but i still need to get my carbs synced and dialed in. man f*** i have only been building it for a month and now i fel like i need to redo my sissy bar. i don't think a surf/snowboard would be too bad on there as long as it was on the side of your bike like that kaiak but standin up or something.

[tkent02]

Cutting is a good thing in this case.
