Current state of my VF1000R chopper.

Maybe dumb questions, but that never stopped me before.

1. With only having a single disc brake up front, does it create any issues under heavy breaking - like torque steer?

2. I can't see from the pictures, but what is/where is the rear suspension?

 

1) I have a single rotor up front on my VTX which I'd assume weighs a decent amount more than this bike, no problems there. Dual-disc would probably be better for 2-up riding on the VTX, but the single gets the job done just fine.

2) Rear suspension looks to be there springs in the seat to keep your tailbone off the hard tail

 

The gas tank is 2.2 gallons. Sort of a standard for many choppers.
I can get to the nearest large town on $2. worth of gas. When I build a custom tank this winter I will increase the capacity.

 

On extended front forks only a single disk is safe.
Many bikes have single disk front brakes. It does not pull to
one side because the rotor is very close to the center of the axle.
I have a 11.5 inch rear disk. Plenty of meat too.

No rear suspension. It is called a rigid frame. Bike is 4.5 inches from the ground.

Mmmmm I like it! Kury Iso wing mini boards?

 

Yes. About the iso wing foot rests...
Quality is very high.
They are comfortable.

 

I'm really, really liking it!

 

Thanks for all the compliments.
I realize this is a sport bike forum but I like the looks of the V4 engine
and that is why I chose it.
I like this forum too. More educated type of people on this site.

 

For the forum members that asked.
This is my first video and it is aftermarket exhausts with H-D baffles added.

Man, that is simply awesome. That engine sounds so damn smooth & ready to rip your guts out at the same time. The entire build is truely inspiring. Thanks for sharing it. Bikes like that make me want to go build something.

 

Man you are going to confuse the HELL out of people. When they see that bike, and then hear that exhaust note, you'll have them scratching their heads.

 

Either you live next to a gas station or are you riding illegal??? I don't see a plate on that bike Donald!! And don't tell me you pushed it there on the sidewalk. tsk tsk tsk. I can't believe that we have a law breaker on this site.:drama:

Totally different sound. I didn't think it would be that quite when you reved it.

 

Actually, you've seen them advertise that spray for license plates so red light cameras can't see it? This is the new kind of spray, it makes it transparent!

 

I had to wait almost one month to get my CHP inspection and I had a temporary permit and no plates. It was legal to ride my bike without the plates, and no cops stopped me! I have plates now.

 

Hahahah LOL...(think Eddie Murphy)

 

So if we're thinking Eddie Murphy, instead of HaHa LOL, its HaHa VFMF?

 

Don't understand. I just thought the idea of a spray that could make the license plate TOTALLY invisible to a camera was funny.

 

Apologies ahead for being way off topic, especially when we're dealing with that oh-so sweet bike of yours.

When you said Eddie Murphy and "haha", I was thinking back to his "Delirious" stand-up routine. At one point he says something about "ha ha very funny mother fucker". (and I used the VFMF in lieu of originally typing it out).

So, when you quoted Elwray and said think Eddie Murphy and "ha ha", I figured you were giving some shit to Elwray. Which he deserves.

Back to topic...
