[silascopathic_imp]

So I am starting down the whitehouse path... ahhhhhh!!!!


I have ordered the black Hagofuku mirrors (if you haven't seen these, they are beautiful)

and i finally decided to get the Moriwaki skid pads. rather than a guard bar.

No, i do not have pictures yet but this is what the mirrors look like on the Hagofuku W house bike



The tank order is going to be finalized at the end of the month. While it is pricey, its a MUST HAVE.

As far as the rest of the Hagofuku kit goes, i may get the front fender. The side covers are still up in the air for me as they are quite pricey for such a little piece.

Anyway I am getting ahead of myself.

As soon as these parts arrive you know I will post more pictures!

What is the capacity of that tank?

Finally getting some protection you'll love the moriwaki skid pads ! just make sure you get the black ones because I think theres a glow in the dark and white ones ....I have them in black and they are nice.

You may want to re-think those long, thin sliders. They tend to stick in soft ground, flipping the bike, or snap-off, taking part of the frame/engine/whatever they're bolted to with it. Many sport bike riders have learned this lesson the hard way. A short, squat, and rounded slider usually works better (assuming such a shape affords the motorcycle in question the appropriate protection, if not, I'd go with bars/cages, or nothing).

lola

AzBob
thanks for the thought, at this point they are ordered and i am not planning on going down again, but if i do lets hope they don't stick in the ground.

I have those Moriwaki sliders on my bike. They look good I think. And if I crash, I don't really care what happens to the bike, I have good insurance. But I would hope the sliders work though.

Those mirrors are very cool and that's great news on the tank.
I have the #'s for the step plates when you are ready, about $350 IIRC. I still need to get the pegs powder coated.

Moriwaki is to Honda Motorsports like Brabus is to Mercedes or Dinan to BMW I am thinking. I'm sure that they make a great product that has been thoroughly tested under all conditions.

That's why I'm not getting a 4x4 exhaust, the Moriwaki stuff is to nice and above Honda quality.

 

[silascopathic_imp]

get that Moriwaki exhaust on your bike already hahahaha!!


We wanna see it!

My plan next month is to get the Moriwaki step kit.

Silas -

Eagerly awaiting pictures, especially of the black Hagofuku mirrors. They cost less than the Honda CB500
mirrors I went with and are indeed beautiful. I'll also be interested in functionality. The CB500 mirrors are great but they really stick out beyond the handlebars and make it hard to get the bike through the door.

The reason why i like these from the pictures is because the sit low but away from the grip and when i finally put more of a cafe bar on the bike they will sit almost the same height as the gauges.

If you look at the chrome version of this tank on samurider, you can see what i'm talking about.

Soon, I need the center stand to do the swingarm first, then exhaust.

Those rear-sets are sweet and you can flip the shifter for GP shifting. I tried it stock, works but your foot hit the shift arm to easily so I flipped it back.

 

[silascopathic_imp]

What swing arm did you get?! Also have you used the Moriwaki step kit or are you saying that we can do this with our current set up?

Over Type 7 arm, plain unbraced w/o the quick lifts.

I have not used a CB1100 set but one advantage is that they are designed to work with both patterns.
Just flipping the arm works with the stock parts but the shift arm itself ends up parallel to the shifter end. Which makes it easy to hit both parts while pushing down on the the lever. Pulling up on the shifter or down-shifting the trans works OK, just not down for up-shifts.........???

hahahaha thanks for the possible tweak idea

Hey Silas,

My mirrors just showed up today, I'm always surprised how fast they get here. Finish is satin which should match the rest of the black components on the bike. The glass is also slightly convex which I like. Are you not happy with your current bar ends?

 

[silascopathic_imp]

Yea, (i think mine will show up today or tomorrow) I just don't like looking down to see what is behind me.

 

[silascopathic_imp]

Not the greatest pictures of these mirrors. I have some adjusting to do tonite, but I wanted to show you how slick these are!

I also now need new grips.... hahahaha the vicious cycle!

 

[silascopathic_imp]

More pictures.

A little weird for me seeing mirrors up there again, but they fit so well and are so easy to see and look at.
