Re: Satos and the V-Stack

Dude, I think that looks great!

Did you see the 919 hop-up Motorcyclist did last month? Awesome bike! Not a twin, but still, a damned cool motorcycle.

That would probably be about what I'd want to ride if I had to own a naked inline.

Edit: your post says you "reinstalled" the Satos? Why'd you take 'em off to begin with?

Re: Satos and the V-Stack

Pretty bad-ass IMO.

Now put some low bars on that baby.

been there...done that

stock bars (bent on bad endo)
Renthal Mids - in above pics
Suburban Machinery Type 2 bars - below pic

w/ the stock forks, the SMT2's were a little too low for me, just...the Renthal Mids are pretty good, but they're a little too high, startin sound like Goldilocks

w/ the F4i forks (read heavier springs, the F4i's r actually 2mm shorter than stock), the front end sits a little higher and i'm gonna bolt the SMT2's back on...might try Renthal ultra lows as well...not gonna go as far as clipons

the SMT2's forced me to drive the bike like an RR...really paying attention to the feet and knees...finally to get where i wanted, i really had to start pointing my shoulder as well...the narrow grip kind of bugged me though...

i'll bolt the SMT2's back on after the F4i forks are done again...try them at the next track day, so long as it's not pocono

Re: Satos and the V-Stack

I had Suburban bars on my SV. Here's a pic of my bike on the company website.

Anyway, you're doing a great job with that 900 Hornet (the name they ought to sell that bike under everywhere, not just the UK!).
