Vt 5 resurrection..

Well most of you have seen the turd…
Well I rubbed some dirt on it…
Waiting on the postal service to be so gracious as to deliver my parts….its headed to the wife’s river camp for the summer…

And what a flawless application of the dirt. Also like the smart finish protectors you designed for the back edges of your steering tree. Who'da thunk it? Lucky camping wife. What HP you sending her up the river with?

Waiting on the rear tire….bought this motor off Markus in 2018…his 40+10….his version of a sleeper…anyway just a little progress

That engine fits the frame perfectly. The bike's looking very sharp @Skipp.

Looks ready to haul ass

@ Skipp, what did you use for the shocks? I've been eying something similar..

Those are just cheapest 13” shock I could find on eBay….i think I searched ct70 shocks

if I had a suggestion it would be to find a set with a longer bottom part( mind went blank)…the springs are kind of cramping my style….

The bars are actually 2” longer than my other Vt5’s and the tire is a lower profile so it makes that front end look long….

They look really good IMO

Well I guess all I need to do today is make a seat and she’ll be ready…those are fiberglass fenders from Mr. Chatten….


anyone ever try this type tire? If so any good?
(Yes I know it’s backwards….idiots that mounted needed proof they screwed up)….

 

[Studeman68]

@Skipp That is a cool looking tire. It looks like the best of both worlds. That bike looks great also! Mr Chatten is a great person to deal with, I appreciate what he does for this hobby for sure.

Thanks! Yes he’s a pretty cool dude…

That tire shape and tread design make it look ready for just about anything. Looking real sharp!
