once he saw a demo bike at Fremont Honda, he knew he had to build one. they delivered it to his house and i met him and brainstormed his vision. then i took it away from him. this black and lollipop lime colorway was the scheme. transplanted a 150cc engine and went a bit further and got a 171cc bore up kit with matching cylinder head with bigger valves. a mild rev cam was also added to the mix. to fuel and spark the new setup, we opted for an auto tuning fuel injection kit. with a big velocity stack at the front. dual exit carbon fiber exhaust made all the fart noises in the rear. web design was used on the seat, not the internet. double stitched on premium vinyl. the wheels was the tricky part. we all know this person makes really good wheels, and we all know his turn around times can be long, and sometime out of his control when it comes to supply. all we ask is some for of decent communication. i don’t know how others are, but after 6 to 8 weeks of waiting, we just want some kind of update. that’s all. if there is none, just say so. just please don’t ghost us. no hard feelings, but we all have been patient and don’t deserve that. what we deserved was our friends from Steady Garage coming in clutch with wheels, cut, assembled and shipped within 2 weeks. doesn’t matter if you email them or call them, they will answer, they will respond. moving along. we hit the wheels with that darkstar powder coat! she squats with a lowered suspension and stops with Brembo front disc brake setup. we added a little sprinkle here and there to the under parts just to break up the black clump. finished her off with a tuned cvt transmission and color matched oil catch and crank breather. it’s been a journey with this one, as far as the wheels goes anyway. patience is not simply the ability to wait, it’s how we behave while we’re waiting.
