I like it but doubt the popo will approve of the rear light and turn signals.

Lotsa money though.

Wow that is pricey.

I kind of want those levers though.

Bill Webb, the man behind Huge Moto and his bike were at Piston & Chain like two days ago. He's local to SF. I didnt hear about it until it was over. I love his style, and designing a streetfighter 'kit' for bikes sounds like a lot of fun. Idk how much it costs to cnc the levers and the subframe but $3k's like two or three times more than I expected the kit to cost. And I REALLY like the looks of the '10 CBR1000RR as it is. Doesnt need this much pruning to look good.

PS, he needs to design an upper triple, risers, windscreen, and quickrelease rack system to be perfect.

License plate goes... ??

I'd also be concerned about hitting the front brakes really hard, not much stopping you from looping it, unless your thighs were Hulkish. :laughing

Awesome.

I like it, but the clip-ons kinda makes it look like a crashed sportbike...
It needs handlebars in my opinion!

i generally like the look of clip-ons better than handlebars, but i have to agree with this one.

If those lights on the lever are replacing turn signals, that's bad design - easily covered by gloves. I don't see any other turn signals either.

I was thinking the same thing. You could street fighter a bike for a bit less and look just as clean. I suppose the people buying this just want a quick project rather than piecing everything together themselves.

How often do you grab the very end of your brake & clutch levers?

How often do you grab the very end of your brake & clutch levers?

while changing lanes....

I do not see that design being an issue at all

 

[treadtread]

How often do you grab the very end of your brake & clutch levers?

Very infrequently, I imagine. Doesn't change my opinion that it's not good design - I'd hate it if the one time I do that is the time an oncoming car doesn't notice my left turn indicator.

However, I do tend to prefer function over form, so there is that to keep in mind

In 80k miles on sportbikes I don't remember ever using 4 fingers for braking.
I have rode a Suzuki Savage once and I do understand your concern though :laughing

I want those levers in addition to my current turn signals. My flushmount turnsignals don't really flash forwards like the stock blinkers did, so cars in front of me or going the opposite way can't see my signal as easily. These levers would be great for that, but at the same time I'd like to keep my existing ones if I ever do grab the end and cover them up.

What does look have to do with anything... Isn't how a bike Works more important?

When you're spending $3k on the kit it damn well better not look like an already crashed pile of shit.

Suzuki Savages are so uncool that they are cool :cool
