Was thinking I'd at least make myself super good looking or something. Or really terrifying. Not just meh.

I can't get over how wide that flat engine is

Oh don't get me wrong, it's a top shelf, proven platform. Still, fucking huge.

Never ridden an opposed twin. Just looking at out looks like at idle it would be quite the shaker. Once you got it up probably OK, but at idle dunno.

Mine is that. Really not a lot of shake when you're sitting at a stop light. It idles low, though. When it's working on the highway there is no shake at all.

Pretty insane stuff, not sure I am ready to spend $1200 on the vest. I set the time to when it goes off but the rest of the video is worth watching.

If you run off the side of the road into the lake, ocean, canal that's the best way to go. Instant flotation device.

Quite a few on the market could be said to be the same.

It's funny, looking back at bikes even circo 2004-2010 or so..... so ugly to me. Maybe why I never had an interest until now, styling seemed so bland even for back then a scant decade. I mean comparing to the interiors on like my 08 VW R32, to instrumentation on bikes then. Not much different than a bike from the 90's. It's only been the last 2 maybe 3 years we've suddenly got substantially nicer gauges/screens, electronics etc.

Aight bros, I've decided I'm going HAM on a Cafe Racer.

Trying to decide between a K100 and a XS750. Really leaning towards the K100

85% prefer the K100. Is this you starting from a fresh canvas or with an already done up one?


That first pic of the black K100 is tits.

Buying a blank canvas and tailoring it to what I like. That k100 is sexy as fuck and I'm a huge fan of open stacks.

Found a place that sells that rear suspension setup as well.

Nice, you're gonna need to be blog posting the progress here as you go. In the time since I've posted I'm at 99% K100 now. Not a fan of that empty triangle area behind the engine at all on the XS750.

Will do.

Here is the other side with the open stacks.
