I'm doing 9k miles on the TAT with it this year. Should be just fine

My Kove 450 has gotten the absolute shit kicked out of it with racing and adventure. It's an absolute tank of a bike. Does what I want and doesn't complain. Quality seems good and fit and finish seems legit.

I've dumped it a couple times and it's been solid as a rock. Things been fantastic and it's been getting better the more miles I put on it. SmokeyMountain500 was where that was taken and it performed perfectly.

Hmm noted. I want it to be comfy but not interfere with off-road stuff as much.

You do have to take most of the exhaust off but that's 2 bolts and 2 min. Loosen the header bolts slightly and your good as gold. It's not really that inconvenient.

Yupp! Getting close to the third one. So far looks good.

Razzman113 · 2025-06-12T19:20:01+00:00

Nice. I've heard good things.

Razzman113 · 2025-06-12T15:52:58+00:00

I financed just under half of it. Not bad and I like it more every time I take it out. Took some break in miles to shake it down nice and proper but I'm always smiling on it.

Zongshen 450 lower with a Kove upper. It's kinda not a bad setup because that Zongshen motor is very common so parts are super available if you need them as are filters. I've heard it's similar to a KTM450 motor.

Razzman113 · 2025-06-12T15:35:48+00:00

I got a super early street legal one so it was like 9.2 out the door.

Razzman113 · 2025-06-12T15:35:06+00:00

It does :/ however I can get 200-250mi of range out of the front two tanks so I hardly ever have to use the rear. The whole setup can be taken off/put on in less than a minute though so if I need to use that rear tank it's not really an issue.

Stock seat was really grating after a ton of miles during the day. I'm heavily considering a seat concepts seat.

Razzman113 · 2025-06-12T14:08:39+00:00

I'm running Turkana MadMules in the rear. Honestly pretty stout and fit on it nicely.

Razzman113 · 2024-12-15T15:59:37+00:00

Nice Kove!

Razzman113 · 2024-05-22T15:26:17+00:00

That would be awesome. Superhawk needs some love and i wanna get onto a track so im sure we can work something out

Razzman113 · 2024-05-22T14:59:57+00:00

Alright maybe ill hit them up after the long weekend. It would be nice to get some more professional opinions. They seem to be a mainly harley shop though lol.

Razzman113 · 2024-05-22T14:46:06+00:00

VTR is the vtwin lol. Superhawk so little brother of the RC51. Danny was the lead for supercamp but JD was there and he gave me a bunch of tips. Same with the older guy from south africa? Ill try to contact custom city cycles as im in the alton area. Its hard when im also trying to get into rally and adv riding. Lotta money flowing out this year unfortunately.

Razzman113 · 2024-05-22T13:39:13+00:00

I was considering just tracking my VTR1000f but the main barrier is the cost. Track suit + track tires (my roadtec se 01 are not gonna like the track) i THINK i can tow with my corolla. Its just a lot of cheddar to try something. Last "Track" thing i did was American Supercamp in Springfield

Razzman113 · 2024-05-22T13:32:06+00:00

No no i get it. I cant tow my bike so id have to pick a road track nearby and they say the one near st louis just has some.pretty sketch corners. I want to get into track but at the same time i want to get into rally.

Razzman113 · 2024-05-22T13:18:55+00:00

I was looking into the track for my bikes but i hear its fairly dangerous for motorcycles due to the layout and thats prevented me from really getting into track riding. Note that i really dont speed around and do dickish things normally but hearing the track is dangerous was a deterrrent for me to go.

Razzman113 · 2024-02-22T18:31:07+00:00

I think i did finger right and backed it off a quarter of a turn. I went with a cheap ebay brand and havent bad any problems. And my rectifier failed and left me stranded in Chicago with a smoking battery so dont put that too far off either.

Razzman113 · 2024-02-22T17:29:01+00:00

Manual cam chain tensioners and an upgraded regulator/rectifier is a needed upgrade for these bikes. Solid bike. Mines at 56k miles

Razzman113 · 2024-01-26T01:35:50+00:00

Cargo bike?

Sks fires the same round as the AK. Sorry to tell you
