BUILD DESCRIPTION

All black with white accessories. Hits 35mph on any incline with ease, tops out 52mph on flats. MLM People's Pipe, MLM intake, Mikuni VM20 carb, 44mm bare metal mesh filter. Domino throttle 1242.03. Shinko 17x2.25 Golden Boy tires on front and back. 3D printed white knobs for the side covers Xtreme Black Adjustable 320mm Shocks in the back. DIY fork stabilizer on the stock hyrdo forks to keep wobbles away. Considering upgrading to an EBR hydro just to get the better stabilizer system. Double/jam nut keeps the clutch from slipping under high load, instead of the stock single nut. Works really well. I use Type F transmission oil. An M10-1.5-35mm bolt blocks off the decompression valve. Once the idle jet is tuned it's unnecessary to have the decomp and becomes an air leak waiting to happen. Amsoil Saber synthetic oil at 50:1 ratio. Starts up first or second kick every time thanks to that tiny idle jet. Ebay-special hump-style cafe racer seat because my old seat kicked the bucket ages ago and nothing else fits right! Battery delete and external condenser to make maintaining the electrical system easier. I run the accessories off the 6V AC from the stator instead of running it to a battery. Fuses and an inline voltage regulator keep voltage in check. Non-polar (AC or DC safe) LED headlight and tail/brake light keep things bright as heck at all RPMs without the need for DC or a battery or burst bulbs. Stoked on this build.
