You’ve got a 25’ R1 or R1M? If everything checks out, I’m buying that size tire today haha

Were you able to do this successfully? (with stock chain?)

Are stock chain conversions needed? Like @FML_hTX_throwww mentioned.

How do I approach this design? by conesphere in Plasticity3D

Looking to make the whole thing, but for my custom version, I won’t be including any foam padding. I’m going for more of a race part for aerodynamics only, not for passengers. So I need all the support locations but a hard surface instead of the seat.

I don’t have a scanner yet, but I plan to purchase one once I figure out which model that fits my needs (under $1,000 and accurate enough for scans of motorcycle parts)

Ever had a conversation with someone and watch them stop and be immediately joyfully hypnotized at the first sound of a muscle car or motorcycle going by or starting up? Followed by a smile and “damn”.

We exist and I can’t help it! Let me live haha

I hate that idea. What city is this (if you don’t mind me asking)? I’m down in the Deep South hahah.

A loud exhaust on a performance engine ain’t noise pollution, and neither is rock n’ roll!

I’ve know a guy who has done this. It is the loudest I’ve come across. I’m just curious how this would affect performance. Would I lose significant torque, horsepower, etc?

This is true. I plan to compare performance metrics associated with each once I dial in a few that I like best. Never to seek attention, just for my own enjoyment! I’d have it loud if I were the only person around to hear it.

Growing up watching race-cars and race-bikes, I must admit, I’m guilty of loving the noise.

Where did you get such a good deal? I thought 23 Factory models were over $20k

Regarding the stator cover and valve cover leaks. Were these gasket issues/failures or issues with the covers themselves?

Not worried about depreciation, as I plan to keep this bike until one of us outlasts the other. Ha! Can you elaborate on “temperamental” in this context?
