    I prefer the polished metal look over the painted. But that thing is beautiful, those Hoosier tires complement any style of bike. I've often wondered why bikes don't have more grease zerts at the pivot points? Wiping off excess grease or pushed out dirty grease is much easier than breaking down machine to pull off dust seal & repacking pivot points.

    RM Zilla . Those two are the best sounding 500’s in the world as far as I’m concerned and when they sound that good that means they are gonna be a hand full to hold onto when you are stretching the throttle cable and your eyes get blurry from running 95+ mph🦏💨

    It would be really cool if you could take the time to do a video of the behind the scenes of a graphic kit. I would love to see the start to finish of how Christie comes up with the ideas and then lays them out on the computer,manufactures them, and installs them on the machine. I don't think people really realize how much work goes into designing and laying out a graphic kit.. Not to mention having them installed perfectly. I think it would be a good little video very interesting..
