Wouldn't want my rims to come flying off :lol:

There were on the wheels when I got it, I don't even understand what they do!!
Those tires need to be changed bad!
I want to go to 17" rims, I have some but at this point no time to fit them, unless I find its a direct bolt on which I doubt, so no major changes are going to happen to the H2 this year unless I find some serious time.
So it will get new tires on the 18" rims for now and thats about it.
Some other minor tuning changes this year maybe, and looking into exhausts.

That is a very nice bike and video. Must have been hard on the knees lol! I like the shortened exhaust. It really sets it off. Great job!

THX!

I like it a lot. The seating position isn't as bad as it looks, the pegs are a bit higher than a modern sport bike. After a couple riding seasons I think about 1" would be great…someday, maybe...
And I am still young, I won't be 50 until June so I figure I have about 10 yrs or so before I have to lower it, change the pegs and have someone start it for me before a ride. :) OH and go to a hydraulic clutch.

The comment about it being hard on the knees was about you taking the video crawling around on the ground LOL!
