One thought on “SU carb, Cone motor w/mag and 5 speed with kicker…Off to a good start…”
OK, enough hints…We have a problem with this bike….We don’t know the builder and really
don’t like the idea of picking on his work BUT………The front wheel on this bike is weak
and the knobby adds to instability….We wouldn’t recommend going over 80 on a smooth
surface and would take it real easy in the curves…Strong wheel lacing requires at least
a three cross pattern and skinny knobbies on the front of a 500 lb bike don’t give much
traction on asphalt… The non padded seat is for those with iron butts and are less than
30 years old…Just an observation….
So, we really dislike how the front wheel will perform…It looks funky/cool but we
have enough miles under our asses to value good handling.. It had to be said.
