Mine is a hand made cromoly single sided swingarm. Just a some advise from someone that has one on thier bike. The original mock up came in at 11lbs. I think that the stock unit is over 20lbs. After the changes made to mine It is still 5 or 6 lbs lighter than stock.  waytogo

I agree with DDGM.  You did ask for opinions, but holy crap!  You added 4 things, took off 2 and modified 3.    Oh  Oh  Oh, then you're choice of tires... Is that guy F'n kidding?

boy, do i not like funky headlights. its a me thing, not that its not done well or anything. Even on the slick 'inspiration bikes' posted up. To me, most of those kits all look like they belong on some sort of motard, where the headlight is really an afterthought.

I didnt notice the one in the front. I dont think I've ever actually seen one of those LED light units, not my cup of tea.
I got a ticket once for putting multi color X-mass lights on the roof rack of my car a few years ago.

Dolph, 

I was talking to the two guys that right off the bat pounded this kids bike (didn't look back, one might have been you).  I can see there are pages, and pages, and pages of MONSTERS.


I promise to save my milk.

And what up with your 620,900,  1098, 1600 math?   Where the hell did that come from?   


BARTENDER,  Another Shot & beer.   PRONTO!

He claimed a 45% increase in displacement. That's the 1098 to 1600 cc comment, and the correction re: 620 to 900.


And the 620 to 900 conversion is really only 36.8% difference.

The 01 900 made 78hp, the 02 620 made 60hp (both are the factory numbers). So roughly a 20hp gain.
