Lose the side panels, that frame should be seen.

holy back from the dead batman.

Like a bad penny...Sorry to see that all is not well. Maybe an Exorcist is in order .  Dolph.

New threads are here and here. But really... no update... just a really really expensive 695 project bike with a clean title, SSS, smoking brakes, and an engine that cuts out.

 

Poor guy-had all that work done and sunk into a bike that doesn't sound like it's working.

To bad because that is one bad ass looking bike---take off the side thingies---show the trellis.

Geez, that really blows.  I love modding as much as the next guy, but in this case I guess my dad was right... if it ain't broke, then dont mess with it. 

Interesting that this thread has been revived.  I let it die though the problems certainly didn't.  I was about to post a couple pics in the "pics of your bike" thread too.  Might as well here...

Things are fine now.  I brought it to the experts at BCM and they fixed it up.   Direct quotes from Kyle were "I wouldnt trust this man to work on my wheelbarrow" and also " I would have set his shop on fire"

She runs nice now.  Unfortunately I'm pretty jaded to the thing.  Its sad.  An expensive lesson learned.  I've seriously been considering selling it and starting fresh with an 848...there will be a court aspect to this story but that day has not yet come.

I know what you mean about be "jaded" after something has taken so much negative energy to get going. Really sorry your experience was soured like that. It looks great if that helps at all. Those wheels are the shizzle. An the forks too.

Er....by "starting fresh" I hope you don't mean getting a brand new bike and modding the snot out of it.


If it ain't broke......

Modding is no longer an interest of mine.

Welcome to the joys of stockdom.

if it's good now, why get rid of it?

Would you continue to stay in a relationship with a girl that had cheated on you?


It might be good now.


But everytime you looked at her, you'd be reminded of the bad, too.
