Thread: ***Official_POST YOUR BIKE_Thread***

Oh and all of our One-off bikes are ridden by the owners on the regular. We have an owner who has, I believe, 9 of our bikes 5 of which are one-offs. He rides them all, he is also the owner of the bike listed above, Retribution.

2003 I believe????

it makes about 160 at the wheels.

Cannot comment on Gearing.. HP is about 180.

180 at the wheels? thats it? my 1098r makes that for example. and it takes it forever to get to 180. I am pretty sure it is also hella lighter than a chopper. that must have been a long road you were on.

who makes your own front gas charged forks? (i only know of two companies in the world who makes gas charged forks. traxxion and ohlins)
American Suspensions Carbonfiber
how long does your 14:1 comp engine run before a rebuild?

That is a good question, how long does your ducati engine run before a rebuild? It all depends on how you treat it.

the duc engines does not have 14:1 compression (even my corsa and sp ones). thats why I ask. all my 14:1 cr or over engines need rebuild after each race weekend...and dont run on anything but vp m8-1 fuel. so you pretty much build hand grenade engines for the road. nice. plus well mines a ducati..its like a ferrari...yours is like a modded chevy duramax.
I looked into american suspension. they dont have any carbonfiber susp stuff...must be special made for you guys. got a pic?

where are you guys located?

Revolution.. Same as on the Exile Streetfighters except made for the bike not just basic 160 or 180 mm tires

my exile did not have revo wheels. had pvm as the revolution wheels tended to fail under high performance. so russ got me a killer deal on some black pvms. only carbon wheels that I trust are dymag and bst...bst being the best carbon bike wheel there is (tested at 229mph at the texas mile by me).

On average 500 pounds. I had built a few "Street Screamers" when I was in high-school that were sport bike designed but had a 150 hp vtwin, carbon fiber body, Marchini (spelling??) wheels, Paoli (spelling) front end, Ohlins stabilizer bar. etc. This is something you would love if you had one of the StreetFighters Russ built.

500lbs wet or dry? I hated my exile. performance per $ was severely lacking and it had a horrible ride to boot.
what frame did you use for the 500lb bikes. because I can guess that none of the bikes that you posted weigh under 600lbs. what is the frame made of?

All you have to do is call Progressive and they will insure these bikes in a heartbeat.

I just did. they carry ins on desparado but not JN bikes. might just be my agent though

Is this ChopperMe guy for real? Im honestly starting to think This guy is a comedian!

I hope he is real. I wanna show him my busa.

but also...I wanna change his mind on crocetchy roooketz.

Torque was the scary part, had no issue getting there which was the worst part. Like I said, I had never gone that fast on a bike especially as fast as it got there.

AS makes the Carbon Fiber fronts by order. Look up the "McBike" that my father donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities. We used the Carbon on that bike. Great product and a very nice front end.

We mixed c10 and Premium fuel when we fired the bike up. Filled the tank half and half.. Dyno was done on Premium only, as for a rebuild this is not like an all out drag engine or race engine. It is built to be ridden, its just a little "bitch" to start if you dont do it exactly right.

I have never ever heard of any Revolution Carbon Fiber wheels having any issues what so ever. I will have to call and verify that.
Now, if you are talking about the Frames, they did have some issues at first but that was years ago and all that has been corrected.

Well, you are one of the few that (I mean this with no offense) was dumb enough to pay 60k like Russ was asking for the StreetFighters. The bike doesnt even look comfortable or able to do what its built to do.
The bike with the 149ci (Retribution) weighed in just over 620 LBS.. But that frame is ridiculous and the rear wheels is 18" wide and the engine is quite large as well. but the production bikes (Rigids) come in starting at about 470 and go to 530 depending on options. Softails start at around 505 pounds and go upwards of 600, again, depending on what options and model.
Depending on which model/frame... Chromoly or steel with aluminum covers.

All you have to do is call Progressive and they will insure these bikes in a heartbeat.

They will insure the JN bikes but some may not know of JN since only about 30 JNCs have been built thus far. I believe the VIN is 1J9... as Desperado is 1D9.

You may be the acceptation to the rule, but my point behind all of this is a majority of the crotch rocket riders on the street act like fools. I always see it when I ride or even when I drive, they fly by, split lanes, do all their little stunts etc. I never ever see the older or middle age Crotch Rocket riders doing all that crap but then again most "Jap" bike riders are young adults or teenagers. But like I said, you are the acceptation to that rule. Ducatis and such are badass bikes in my eyes but they are badass because they are not meant to be ridden around like R6s and R1s etc. They are meant for the track, they are meant to be going through corners at 140 mph

Hey chopper guy. Do you realize, that you may be bitting the hands that feed you? A lot of guys that ride, "jap bikes" are going to get older, slower, fatter, balder and have a lot more disposable income. But, they are still going to want to ride a motorcycle. Some of them, may even want to but a chopper, but none of them are going to buy a chopper from a single minded person with an, I'm better then everyone else attitude, like you.

No, not single minded or "I am better than everyone else" attitude. I have the mindset of "I know what I like and how the majority of the riders act on Vtwin bikes vs the "race" bikes"...

Also, I personally build about 10-14 bikes a year that customers come directly to me for because they understand that I build what I like and they want the bikes I build. I don't build the big fat tire bikes with long rake and such. I build the skinny tire, high-seat, narrow bikes that you CAN go through corners fast yet hit the Drag Strip and still go fast as well and this is what they come to me for. They don't look like a "Crotch Rocket" instead they look like a chopper or prostreet bike with a twist on it. Such as my first bike which was in the June 2005 Street Chopper Magazine. Chopper in looks but handles corners like a dream.

Oh no, chopper guys never act like fools. They just ride around in chopper and Harley gangs and rape, pillage and murder people, just for shits and giggles. For some reason, Hells Angels come to mind. Oh yea, they are a bunch of law abiding citizens. The kind of guys you just wish your daughter would bring home. Dude you are very delusional!
