Thanks, Steve! Absolutely. Even when I don’t get what I expected and fail, I regret nothing, because working on this bike is a pleasure and experience is invaluable. Thanks for you kind words!

Thanks Shaun! love experimenting! Never settle!

Thanks, Andrew! One more reason to keep the small light ! To tell the truth I was hesitating

Thanks, Jonathan! Black is such a powerful colour. It amplifies everything. I bet orange crush tank would look fantastic in this setup too!

See you soon, brother! Time flies!

Thanks, Friend! I came to realisation I like dark brown more, but I didn’t succeed with recolouring

Thank you Kapi!

Thanks Jim!

You are right! It was a hit easier for me to it the way I did, but you are right, there are two options! Thanks!

Thanks Tiago! I am also very pleased with the changes, and if you look at it, it wasn’t even that expensive!

Hi Mark! Yes, I was the same - didn't like the look of the rear end. It's better now, but If i did it again, i would go for 17in 150/60 tyre and not 150/70 as I have now. Yeah, I can do a close up vid on these details.

Hi Dani! There are two main options for relocation- baak and sold out. I am happy with the sold out kit! Yes, indeed, so many directions you can take this bike from stock!

Hi Stanley ! Thanks those black fork covers make it mean! You should have seen the bike without the headlight. So aggressive

Thanks Tobi! I loved it too before I ruined it with my dyi attempt:)

Thanks! No, it is definitely not soft. It is not too hard, but definitely not soft

PS: What'd you remove that got your bike rejected from the bike show? Couldn't hear what you said

Hey Adrian, thanks for your nice words! Well, I’d guess if I was a plumber the manifold was a work of art:)) There are a few things. I noticed that I stopped enjoying making videos and it turned into a race for the schedule and KZfaq algorithm. And the quality and visuals began to suffer. So I stopped. I realised I am not a full time KZfaqr. So now I release a video every now and then when I have something to say, and I take my time to record and edit it, so I take less shortcuts. I am working on my next video and I hope it will be ready for this Saturday! In regards to the bike shed expo - I forgot to remove the cat eyes / reflectors on the forks. It was a rookie mistake. Just kidding though. Not enough custom for them. Need a custom paint job, crazy fairing and cut frame it seems

Dreams come true

Thank you Richard! There are a couple of good videos on the subject, one from Stuart Fillingham and another from Wild Life Moto. I end up using metal polish recommended by Wild Life Moto - www.autobritedirect.co.uk/product/metalworx-metal-cleaner-polish/

Hey! Sounds great, I was thinking about a quick action throttle, but removing a slack was really a first quick step for me. I know there are down sides, but it is all personal preference and I love the feeling of how the bike responds now. I rode the bike with domino quick throttle fitted and it was fantastic. I will check that Yamaha r6 one you suggested!

Hey Steve! Yeah! Both trip machine and raw and rugged have very nice leather pads. I don’t know about the grip, but they look decent. However, I found out that Union Jack on those pads cause quite a controversial reaction from people… I don’t know why? Everyone knows by now that this used to be a British brand now owned by India. Who has a problem with that?!

Hello! Many people ask me this question, I need to figure this out! I will report when I can

Thanks buddy! I am in the same process to be honest, but to be honest every time I start thinking about a new bike and open autotrader I complete a full circle and come back with an idea that this bike is a good match for my style of riding and my level of skill. So I will keep it for sometime, and all these aftermarket parts available bring a feeling of a new bike at a fraction of a price. 14t sprocket is awesome. But it is purpose made. If you want more pull and ready to sacrifice revs at motorway speeds- go for it! I loved it. I did it to all my low power bike and I loved the change. It takes 30min to revert the mod so you don’t loose much trying!

I have a 16 on the front now and 6th gear is pretty useless at speed. There’s no difference between 5 and 6 now. 14 will be a good change.

@@elwood62 let me know what you think after you try! Because I also got both 14 and 16 and 16 is just sitting there… I would say that with the 14 you have more gears in the most useful speed range. On the motorway 6th gear feels like 5th in terms of revs

@@thesundayridesI finally put on the 14t sprocket a week ago. Really love the pickup but it seems to make the bike very buzzy, if that makes sense. I was switching from a 16t so maybe that made it more noticeable. Especially on the highway it really lost it’s top end. So today I put the 16 back on and it’s as smooth as butter. Rode 100 miles to confirm it’s the right choice.

@@elwood62 thanks for your feedback! Great to hear back to back comparison. Perhaps it’s the buzziness that I enjoy with the 14t. However, I also have 16t laying around, I might try that as well

Hey bro! Sure! I 3d printed a new bracket made of two parts, and everything is secured in position with a screw. It worked great!

@@thesundayrides would love to see how that looks.. I’ll need to fashion something out of bits I’ve got lying around the garage

@@liamjones4843 I will post something in my instagram tomorrow to give you an idea! @max_sunday_rides

@@thesundayrides great thanks man

I am not an expert on tyres, but I am very happy with the Bridgestone BT46 I have.

@@thesundayrides size front and rear ?

@@canozerman7789 bro my wheels are non standard. I run on 17inch wheels. Stock is 18

Hi there! What a great question! I am considering a new bike, and here is what I think: Bonni T100 - could be a great option with a full BAAK kit and chunkier tyres. So quite expensive to build. Speed Twin 1200 - an awesome bike with plenty of performance. I like it more than T100. Still expensive, but this is very likely to be my next bike. Triumph Bobber - very good-looking and lots of potential for customization, but not sure about its practicality and ridability Kawasaki z650 - a black sheep. there is a huge potential to make a one of a kind Z, bike isn't expensive and handles well. Ducati Scrambler 800 - to top my game But.... do I want another naked bike? I actually might go ahead and buy Yamaha Tracer 7. I think it will perfectly suite my riding plans for this summer.

@@thesundayrides Very nice list of potentials. A few of those are on my list as well. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me with such a nice detailed response.

@@scripteaze you are welcome! Which ones do you have on your list?

@@thesundayrides Speed twin, Ducati scrambler. I'm also looking at the int 650 and the svartpilen 401. This will be a first bike for me. (New rider) I love the int 650 but worried about its weight.

@@scripteaze it was my first bike and I bought it without even test driving. And I fell in love. Really good first bike and manageable. It’s heavier than many others but not too bad. Go take it out for a test ride

Hahaha that was a little joke. There are reflective orange “cat eyes” in the bottom of the forks. I am not sure that’s that way to call them but that’s how I always used to call them. Presence of these reflectors scream that your bike is stock or you don’t pay attention to details:) I am joking that because of that my bike submission wasn’t accepted to the bike shed show this year:)

Thank God you asked this question... I listened to that part about 673 times and didn't understand either.

@@silverido hahaha sorry for my shitty English:))))

I am glad how it turned out!

@@thesundayrides you should be. I have just bought a red ex-demo and looking forward to customising

Perhaps! I still have it in the shelf

Haha did I? Steal like an artist 👩‍🎨
