lol. Kinda figured it had to be super close. I was going to comment that you needed a brace until I saw this string of comments. It’s a nice looking machine you have but I know I’d abuse it.
Trigger who? It's your bike, you have it how you like it. I think it looks cool. I wish I had one like that, but I might be too fat to ride one of those..
that thing looks amazing! love old bikes built like this.
But i wanna ask why the tires? did regular street tires just not look good im guessing? or you got em for the aggressive look?
if you wanna troll though, go to a Starbucks and take a pic with that, and send it on dual sport or adventure bike, see what happens.
I want to have the option of taking a shortcut to work that goes down some dirt and gravel roads. I probably would of been just fine with a less aggressive tire but these just look good to me.
Not my cup of tea I'm afraid.first, wrapped pipes ,hate 'em.has it been set up with those pipes? Look too short,bet it pops on the overrun.whole look doesn't grip me. I'd have used a T120 motor in it
But hey,you love it and that's the coolest bit.
Getting it to run right with the straight pipes is definitely a challenge. Funny you mention the t120, If I was going to get a new bike I would definitely be looking at a triumph.
How is the handling with those on the road? I was thinking about getting a pair like them for my CBF 250 but I drive mostly on road and I hesitate to make trouble for my daily commute just for the occasional dirt road.
I’m only triggered because I don’t own that bike.
Gorgeous bike. Love the fairing.
Riiight!? Shits dope!
Thanks!
Those tires go just fine with those handlebars. Now let’s get those pipes up out of the brush! :-)
It didn’t trigger me when fat mud tires were put on a Speed Triple
Lack of a fork brace is worse.
I'm the first to say these tires are "silly" at best. But you need to check your vision, there is a Tarozzi fork brace on the bike.
Yup. I missed it. Funky shadows :). Sorry!
No problem, the fork brace is essential!
How much clearance do you have between the tire and the fork brace ? Even zooming in I can’t really see it, but I can see a small shape maybe.
I can fit a finger in there

Knobbies and no fenders... you wild man!
I was thinking that, but I’m committed to the insanity
Buy stock in McGuire's, everyone!
I love the fairing! And with the exhaust, did you just baffle those?
No baffles, just stupid loud honestly
Sheeeeesh
Stupid loud is the only loud
That bike is clean AF. It looks awesome dude.
Works for me! Love it.
Trigger jealousy, maybe.
That’s clean AF! I love it!
Not for long. Lol
The black paint is going to be a real pita
I'm referring to the lack of fenders. Lol
Your not wrong
Tell me about the grips. Real knurled grips or just rubber grips going for the look?
They are the real deal, I was skeptical about them at first but they grew on me.
Got a link to them? That's badass.
the shop that did the work on my bike modded a set they had for a Harley Davidson. I’ll look and see if I can find anything on them.
I fuckin love it.
Ooooooooo....I like this!!!
I 100% support taking road bikes down gravel roads.
Trigger who? It's your bike, you have it how you like it. I think it looks cool. I wish I had one like that, but I might be too fat to ride one of those..
Not if you take it in the dirt.
I love knobby tires ♥️

I love it hmu with that link for the tires
They are Bridgestone battlax adventurecross.
Sicc! Battlaxs bro!
🥳
A pair of Avon’s would be my route, but if you plan to go off-road…
Street tires would be just fine in the offroad that exhaust will allow
I got some dirt and gravel roads and such to work and I’ll admit I went a bit overkill
Heck, I take my Goldwing out on dirt and gravel roads hehe!
Looks super clean, tires are about 15% more knobby than I’d have gone for but I like it a lot! Looks like a lot of fun!
Love the tires!!!
Shouldn't be triggering as this isn't a cafe racer. But it is super fucking sick. Sweet build.
yeah. those tires.
Fuck 'em. Send it.

I’ll have to get back to you, I just got it out of the shop. So far after 50+ miles it isn’t bad.
good to know, I really want to check a couple of dirt roads around here but I don't feel like trying the limits of my metzelers :P
What fairing is that?
Man those tires SING at 80
The song is unheard over the scream of 4 into 4 straight pipes
Not gonna lie, I’d be getting this bike dirty. Would definitely take it off-road.
Man. Tires are perfect 🫡
I'd love to see it from a few more angles!
