Seen this in the new issue of Red Rider, and had to check it out.
Roland Sands bult this Honda 919 up into a serious StreetFighter. Cycle World is raffling off this one of a kind bike, for the kids. raffle tickets are $5 each, and can be ordered off either of the links below.
"The project started with a 919 donated by American Honda, but that was just the beginning. Following some parking-lot antics (see gallery), Sands and his talented RSD crew got to work transforming the stocker into what promises to be the envy of any bike gathering. The parts list alone is mouth-watering, kindly supplied by companies that tied into Roland's enthusiasm for the build.
Öhlins came onboard, providing a set of its forks and a shock. Renthal sent handlebars that bolt to a set of one-off triple-trees designed by Sands. RSD hand controls complete that package. Vance & Vines worked with Roland on the twin underseat exhaust, customized with hand-bent aluminum heat shields. Performance Machine rotors and radial-mount brake calipers, plus Spiegler braided brake lines, seriously upgrade the front brakes. RSD contrast-cut Domino wheels—the rear a 6-incher—are skinned with Dunlop D208GPs to give a strong stance.
As this is written, Brave Heart is coming together. Paintwork by Air-Trix will soon be back at RSD. Then it's an all-hands-on-deck flog to get the RSD 919 ready for its big debut this Friday in the CW booth at the Long Beach Cycle World International Motorcycle Show. After Long Beach, Brave Heart has an appointment in the CW photo studio, then it will be on display at the remaining nine IMS shows.
To all Brave Heart ticket buyers, best of luck to you. It's a great bike for a greater cause."
i got a chance to see at this international motorcycle show in detroit its pretty nice looking and i really like his style. i dont think i would rock it but im more of a full fairing kind of a guy, but his name on it means more than some other builders to me.
He by far makes the coolest bikes around. They have a real Moto GP race edge to them with the rough imge and personality of harleys and streetfighters.
a friend of mine was telling me about a electronic visor that can switch from smoked to clear.
i have seen similar idea on airplane windows, they have a lcd i think in between them.
any one know if they are for sale?
also he said he saw one that has daemon eyes on it that are leds, ever see?
Hi,
I have tried to change from khp to mph the normal way ..... 'when on trip A press the reset button' - it does not work for me.
My speedo seems to be stuck on kph.
Anyone else have this problem? If so did you manage to changeto mph?
Anyone know why it would be stuck on kph?
Thanks.
So, below are a couple of pics from my old 1992 CBR600 (f2) - bought as the flamed pirelli, purchased some fairings from China for £350 and fitted myself - and I loved this bike.
Smashed it to bits at 4am one morning on my commute, taking a corner far too late - totally my fault.
So, latest...
Is it common to get condensation behind the dash glass,I’m assuming it’s the steam rising up from the radiator when the weather is wet. Can it cause any issues?
No idea how this happened but the coolant overflow tank somehow got a hole in the top. It looks burned but it's not by the head or exhaust. No coolant was left in it. I noticed it when I was changing the oil.
