Took the wife for a ride on skyline drive. First time she has ever rode on the 8. She used to ride on my cbr and she still rides on the vmax.

Hey everyone, I've been getting a few people asking me who did my headlight.
He's also a friend of mine that just started his business.

Facebook
Monolithic Cycles

He is a custom bike shop out of ruckersville Virginia, I dont advertise crap so hopefully I'm not breaking some kind of forum rule.

Like his page if you can, we would appreciate it.

So, Im really looking into powdercoating my wheels, what would you guys think about a really really dark red, almost black. I also think at the same time I want to do the subframe bars like this guy......

What do you guys think?

Thx for the pic Cambo!

Tracking number says today my rear sets and clip ons come in!

[Banky2112]

Okay, since the Dyno shop was being difficult to schedule with, I spent some hard earned money on some other stuff while I wait.
Apex riser clip ons will be up tomorrow night.
Tonight me and Torian put on the V2 rear sets.......

Multi post photo time lol (damn iPad)

Last pic....... For now muahahahaha

ah dude that looks freaking amazing! can't wait to throw mine on now.

The adjustability was really what I'm gunning for. I hope it opens up some space so my knees don't feel like their in my stomach anymore.

Just don't get freaked out when you have to......
A. Modify your sprocket cover ( or just pitch it)
B. remover your lower engine mount bolt and reverse it........

Btw if you need instructions I can email u pics of mine.

 

[Banky2112]

:hbwall:

So my clipons are 43mm, which is great cause the 2013 fz8 has 43 mm forks....
What's not great is that the tube shroud where they bolt on is actually 50mm....

Sorry to let you guys down, I'm going to overnight them tomorrow cause I'm dying to try them out....

thanks man! hey what do you mean by 'reverse it'?

Also, did you get the vortex brake light adapter thing?

btw this is an awesome build thread man. can't wait to see the clip ons. I'm waiting to score a used set on ebay...I just can't justify paying 200 bucks for these things!
