if this was yours what would you do with it? he said i could do pretty much whatever i want with it with a few exceptions. he thinks he wants to keep clip ons and the tail for now. mostly the questions i have are about what i can delete from the crap up front. he doesnt have a whole lot of money but id like to do something classy. aaaaaand go.
oh P.S. he said he went into a swamp at over 100. yeah. thats definitely what happened. im thinking more alone the lines of he ran low on talent.

Start with an underslung exhaust and front mount rads

 

[redhedrednek]

Def cover or move rads. Not only are they ugly, and will be poked through if left as pictured...but it would be friggin hot on the legs. Frontmount them stacked with a perforated guard to keep road debris out. Then on tank write "warning swamp rabbits at play"

Definitely a 4 to 1 exhaust it sounds soooooo good without the dual exhaust put the radiators up front get/make some shrouds jack the back end up and put a mask low on the front to give it a more aggressive look. I love rc51 I've always wanted one. Are those ohlins forks?

 

[Wolfman]

check Romans RC51 build and go from there

 

[Nailhead]

masks are for halloween not motorcycles

 

[DrJellyFingers]

i wanted one for a long time until i rode one few weeks back.


yea big v-twin, blah blah blah, but its a fat pig, so shed as much weight as possible

What are you asking for it ?

Is this for sale?























:laugh:

J/k.....I would confiscate the thing from the guy, ditch everything on the front, mount some oversized frame sliders them mount headlights on those

+1 on the 4-1 exh.

too lazy to quote anything but showa forks. definitely not for sale. i guess he wants to keep the dual side rads. i set the monster seat on it and it makes me want it more. got it running and tucked the whole front harness today. whoever designed the airbox on this should be shot. and from talking to him im starting to think its going to end up being another boring "i wrecked my bike now i just want it ridable " oh and i think it may be hard to do a 4-1 exhaust on a vtwin...

 

[piester]

oh and heres more pictures.
sweet photoshop skills


front end a bit cleaner

V-twin!?:doh:

Integrate the headlight and a ram air intake (made with a slightly flexible plastic tubing that can bend with the handlebars). If he wants to keep the sidemount radiators I agree with redhedrenek, make metal covers that are slotted or perforated to let some air in.

Personally I like the dual exhaust. But you could reroute one of them to the opposite side and do a shotgun style dual exhaust (like this one)

yes, the RC-51 uses a 90* Vtwin.

 

[Sevulturus]

Undertail radiator with double fans. Looks bad with those things hanging off the side.

 

[tldave]

I would take it apart, and send the parts to my powde rcoater, and powder coat everything a different fluorescent color, with NO theme, so its a heinous bunch of orange pink green blue purple lime yellow bullshit.

then, I would give him the bike back and call him a ***. absolutely worth the cost to powder it all.

I WILL do this if you want to. Im sure some other people on here would be willing to pitch in a few bucks to get it done.

also, penises and unicorns all over the bike.

 

[piester]

a wee update i suppose. not really my style on some things but its his bike

 

[gsf1200R]

cobbled... the headlight setup with skull design makes it look cobbled to gether and it seriously is bland and looks like he just took the plastics off to change the oil and couldnt figure out how to get them back on
