It looks like crap, you should give it to me so you don't embarrase yourself riding it around.

That looks a great Job Henry,well done...If i could give some constructive criticism,i am not a big fan of the headlamp arrangement.
A round headlamp would make a world of difference.

thats what JP said also, and i agree with both of you. by the way your bike is still nicer
you should post a picture on this board.

Impressive. Quite different, but that is what makes it so neat.

You break his bike going around the block, and almost every drag video you are almost running behind the bike, and look at your avatar pic. Would YOU let someone like that ride your bike?....... :lol: :e11 :lol:

I don't like it :shifty: ......almost nothing is correct on it :problem: wrong seat,exhaust,meters,forks,bars,etc,etc,etc.......but since I like you Henry I will give you this for it :thumbup: .....try and build this one with the correct parts. I will even include Arbys phone number just in case you have any questions about the correct nut to use when building this one. :think: That Arby fellow is from the UK and those fellows can be pretty anal about building triples. :roll: Let me know when you would like to swap and I will come to Chicago to trade.....again only because I like you Henry. :mrgreen:

Thumbs up on the pipes!!! I've got the same ones. Higgsy sent me another set of baffles (all taped up ) I think they are his "quieter" version baffles. Judging from some of the looks I've been getting, I think I'm running the loud version. I've got over 3000 mi. on them since last july. Just keep an I out where the rear hangers butt weld to the pipe(s). Left and right hangers on mine each cracked at that weld. I'm not complaining. Everyone that checks out my bike, loves the pipes!!!

Yep, ALL chambers HAVE to be rubber mounted at the back........ I'm surprised you missed the 100 times it has been mentioned....... :wtf: :lol: :wtf:
