I'll get some fresh pics up after I update the rear shocks. Check the Daytona headlight brackets.  |

Thanks guys!
Kentrex- its a 18 in the rear with a 4.00x18 Firestone and the front has a 3.25x19. They are bias-ply radials, so on the highways roads with rain-grooves, I'm tracking all over the place. Their speed rating is only around 80mph as well.

It's made by a small outfit called Kojima Planning, which is distributed through Kijima, A major parts manufacturer in Japan. It was actually made to order for my bike. A friend of mine has a scooter shop, and I'm trying to get him to import a bunch of stuff for the SR and universal applications. I'll keep you guys posted.

Hahah- This bike rocks. ;D So I come out of the bar right after last call to see that bunch of Harley baggers are sharing the parking spot I took, and we just happend to walking out our bikes at the same time. (My last bike was a Harley springer twin-cam which I sold. The profits from the sale bought a nice big comfy couch, which is about the same thing as the harley.) They dont even acknowledge me since I'm on a 70's POS. Their bikes start up with a pull of the choke and the puch of a button, while I'm going through the paces to get the friggin thing started. My jetting is slightly off, so trying to get it started in the cold weather is a little more work. I had to pull the choke and give it full-throttle where I usually just start it if its warm outside. Then BLAM, like a string of ladyfingers in a coffee can my bike starts up and it revs itself a foot back to the curb. After I back off the throttel and choke it calms down to a slight purrr. I think thats the point where the harley dudes were confused that my bike was louder and quieter than their bikes at the same time, probably faster too. I think someone slipped a cam in mine. There are a lot of bikers here in san jose, and I'm the only guy cruising around on a bike prior to 2000. I get looks from everyone. I dont think sportbike riders get how I have the same ergos but I sound like a chopper. And the punkrock chicks dig it too!  |

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm almost afraid to do anything to it- I could throw off its ratty balance. I have a bunch of new parts to put on too. Hopefully more pics in a couple weeks.
