Electronics and gadgets can be lots of fun - so long as I don't need to diagnose and fix them!

Happy Motoring, Mark

Amazing work on the bike! I wish I had that skillevel.

It would also make a certain group of bikers scream heresy as it is not based on a Hardly Dangerous, so it can't be a chopper (*true* choppers in their eyes have to be ordered from a chopper shop and built with certified chopper parts). Ok, I will step down from the soapbox, take a deep breath, and smile again.

But, man, that is a lot of work in that bike. How many hours did it take you to do all that?

meh, run enough HD iron in the past, up to AMF FXE anyway, never fancied the newer stuff.

the TR1 is actually a "homage" to the Vinnie HRD, a classic vee twin with no frame and everything hanging off a subframe on the engine, even has gen-u-wine HRD footpegs and rubbers, lol, which gives vinne types conniption fits.

it's actually the opposite of HD in many ways, "chop" used to mean taking things off, now it means bolting things on from a catalogue.

crankshaft is bang in the middle between the wheel bearings, my ass us below the top of the wheels, lean angle is crazy, so compared to a new kwach thou in a straight line it is pig slow, in the real world on real roads it is like being slung down the road on a tea tray, nobody could get off it without smiling, and it did 60/70 mpg cos it's light.

here you can see how far it can lean, first thing to touch is those pegs, and they fold back.... lol
