    Look's good to me !

    What are the forks off ? The Brembo's look the goods! Also was it straight bolt on or did you need to work on Spring & damping?

    Bike looks excellent and great to see a completely different build!

    What was required to fit the R1 forks other than the springs? I assume that is an R1 wheel, brakes etc

    Thanks pil good to know, as i have an old tube frame Buell parts getting hard to get & that is a good brake set up. The old Buell has 100,000k up so motor will be freaxhened up soon along with gearboxe I like to get to the track once in a while too.

    That is Good to hear Pil! Cow knows Harley's & how to build & tund them at any level, he can also machine flow test do head work tune carb tune EFI custom map rebuild & tune notro burners, he alwzys has given me what i want. Then i go to the track & it works, i had a twin cam 88 dyna that just had a stock frame, & stock heads stock geaf box stock clutch sto k shift stock wheels 130 90 x16" at rear 19" at front i road it to the track road home just average rider 80kg 11.27 121.5mph in 4th gear as clut h slipped if i use 5th, then before that he built  e an old four speed shovel that can still run 11's quarter mile.

    But with the old Buell i'll be a bit slow till i get the feel of it again.

    It's actually easy the second time..... Use washing gloves and apply it wet...... The first time I didn't use gloves and itched for days....

    Another secret is to spray it with VHT paint in the right colour. It sets under heat and helps keep the tape in place.
