    well as many of you know i crashed my bike, half assed it and kinda made it to the BBB in muskegon, had electrical issues, many thanks to those who helped.

    anyways, those issues are all gone now, and my bike has now entered hopefully its last phase, ill let the pics and video do the talking. I only have a few little things to take care of, and i was too impatient, and now have water stains all over my engine and exhaust. oh well.

    looking at these pictures, they're really bad, i think its cuz the camera was out in my moms cold car and i brought it into the heat so it fogged up... but im going to try and do a "shoot" out in the snow with my friends moms really nice camera and try to get it into the readers section of the horse, because that would be awesome..


    video's coming in a little bit still waiting for the upload, internet's sucking

    well, it's not a legal mount, but it will work just fine.. i have 2 - 2" long, by 1/4 thick and 1" wide chunks welded in the back with a little over 5/16" holes drilled in them and on an angle, it lifts the rear end up and creates a wedge, where it requires a little force to jam the 2 bolts welded on the seat into the holes and some force to pull it out, and i use the nuts to adjust the ride height., the front is sitting on a piece of 3/8 metal that also hold the tank mount, it's solid

    Its different you can probably ride it to canada on a tank of gas. I have herd of a sue aside shifter but your more man then i am pulling that clutch cable with your fingers. If you ever get pulled over you had better be ready for a hard time. I bet you will have people come up to you and ask if its a nighthawk but your riding again thats the important part. Glad it turned out good

    I'm going to try my hardest to do so time..

    cutlass, before i put it away for the summer i got pulled over 4 times in 2 weeks,
    1. Wheelie and excess speed- no ticket
    2.38 in a 25- no ticket
    3. no running light - no ticket
    4. excess noise - no ticket

    every time i had to explain to them why it is a yamaha and not a honda... I also had to push start it each time...

    I was surprised when i pulled the plugs on the bike to clean the paint off.. with that pretty much open 4-1, they were actually a little on the rich side, even though it popped like crazy, and i just put 124's in instead of 120's

    Looking nice schooter. I'm loving the tailgunner exhaust and the model A brake pedal was a nice touch. I was recently thinking of a throttle twist style clutch handle like Exile makes, was going to try to make my own but not sure how to rig it yet. :?

    I am amazed that those pegs don't scrape at all...and why are you leaving the Honda emblems on it again???

    p.s. I will txt you about a clutch perch later today...

    Good job! One of a kind for sure. I'd leave the Honda emblem on it just for a conversation piece.
    Mine has parts from Hondas, Kawasaki, Suzuki and many from Harleys also, so I guess it's a Hienz 57 variety now!

    C'mon DW! He left the Honda badging on it as a diversion! Confuse the bad guys you see.

    As for the rotating exhaust ridiculousness..... You didn't pay money for that did you? If you are going to have the exhaust tips rotate why not put some of those spinning covers over the wheels?

    Aside from the goofy exhaust she's a very nice looking ride!

    Great job Schoot!

    I dont know if those pegs scrape, havent rode it like that... i know i've got to shorten then, and i can get about 1 inch on the once side and 2 inches on the other.

    honda emblem is on there because im lazy about painting,, dont wanna bonda and repaint it and clear coat it again

    hey schooter everyone is giving you a hard time on the emblems. When i took my car to the show. There was a car there that was part everything every month he would change the badge saying what kind of car it is. You could pick up a collection of different emblems harley,norton ect glue some magnectic strips on them and really mess with peoples minds
