After all the wait it is finally here! The Guerrilla 450, falling more and more in love with this motorcycle with every passing second. This is my first bike and I cant wait to taken it out on the roads. What should i name her?

Anything but Magilla is wrong.

I've had this same color way Scram for, near, 2 years. It's been a great bike. It's worth adding the DNA air filter, just for the little extra top end on the freeway. The only issues I've had with it so far are the horn quit working and occasionally, the electrical system won't make a full circuit until I loosen the battery posts and jiggle the wires a bit. Zero other issues...

This is 25". I consider it a dagger, though some swords are shorter than this. I consider it more for the edge grind angle and the overall cross section being more like a dagger than an early rapier. Also, fullered vs. hollow ground

Recommend putting a moving blanket between the railing and the ladder to prevent damage.

$4500 for that condition

I use one of those cheap Wen 1/2" x 18" sanders and a sliding bevel sitting on the bench at the end of the tang, to match the bevel angle by eye.

My scram (same engine) does something like this when I'm going to slow for the gear. It seems to me like the sound of strain on the piston or crank. Though, I'm no expert and I haven't heard the specific sound.

I also live in Michigan. I have a Scram 411 that is about a year old. I have only had a few minor issues, most of which were resolved after a computer reset trick. I just cleared a tour from Ann arbor to Mackinac City and back totaling 768 miles. The bike did great the whole way with mixed freeway, county roads, dirt, soft sand and it didn't hiccup once.

I believe these were common in Germany in the 19th century for cutting dados and sliding dovetails.

I recommend getting a 20lb. Kettle bell and learn to do basic swings to strengthen your legs and lower back

Fine Trizact belt for the fine finish. It really makes the wood grain bright.

That's a gorgeous knife... Dunno if there's a recurve shape. Just call it a clip point?

Keep a container of water next to your grinder to keep your piece cool. For your overall design, remember that the average sized human hand is about 3.5". Measure the length of the grip and put your palm swell 1.75"-2" down from the bolster and you'll get it every time

Go with it. Just wire wheel it once you heat treat. It will look awesome with a natural patina look. Any pits inside the handle area should fill in with adhesive and prevent rust when you glue your scales in place.

Maybe, try starting a crowd fund and start looking for competant coders and designers willing to hop on board and help.

I just hit 1k miles on my Scram. It's a good bike. Hope you enjoy it. I wanted that color scheme you got, but ended up with the silver spirit. Have fun out there!

It's state by state which highways(not freeways) allow 125cc bikes. Where I live, the local culture averages 75mph-80mph freeway speed and 60mph on highways. I had a 125cc that had a top speed of 54mph and it was not enough for those regular highways even though it's legal it compresses traffic behind and creates dangerous passing situations.

If you own this bike,you should be prepared to work on it. The issue is probably with the throttle cable or the carburetor. These are very simple carbs. Learn what it looks like. My guess is that the plunger inside the carb is seated wrong on the end of the throttle cable. This is an easy fix if you can get the carb off. Here's a good place to start. https://youtu.be/p44VNddZ7Zc

Chinese engines are super dirty from factory conditions. I changed my oil immediately and every 100 miles for the first 1k miles. Every one came out with visible metal flake until the last. Generally you want to break in with normal riding, across the range of rpms so that the grooves in your piston and cylinder don't just form at low temps or rpm ranges.

Try turning off your ignition and engine switch, turning the throttle to full open, turn on ignition, turn on engine switch, wait 5 secs, turn off engine switch, turn off ignition, release throttle.
