Yes, should be ok, I had to move the bars out a little to clear the tank, haven't ridden any distance yet, so not completely sure...

Nice, he took the easy way out and didn't hide all the wiring, simply mounted it to the bottom of the seat. alot of bolt on stuff too, not so much fab work? very sexy though!

[singkiwi]

Yeah exhaust looks crap, this is the stock street legal one, I have stainless headers and a race can but they're not legal. Updates later...

 

I'll post details on powdercoating and chrome shortly...

wow nice. thats a very unique s4 you got there

 

anyway, you should share the amount of money you have spent on this bike, it would be great if you could break down the costs. i bet a lot of people will be keen to know how much money was spent on this project of yours.

 

i hope you can pass your inspection.

 

what do you plan to do if you have difficulty passing the inspection?

Haha nope, that would just be opening myself up for a world of abuse! I paid what I thought was ok. Some seemed expensive, sometimes what you have in your head and what is delivered is different, therefore justifying or making the money seem expensive. I built it because I wanted to not to make money. When I replaced parts I did it properly with new pieces mostly genuine Honda.

 

Having said that...

Donor bike $2k

Frame Powdercoat $300

Tank and seat chrome $500

 

Overall it owes me more than $5k

PM me if you want details,

 

Cheers
