I have a 2005 S40, very good condition, 8k mi. Never dropped, no scratches or leaks, backrest, windshield ,fork brace, runs good. How much should I ask for it? Thanks!

Reduce the rake from 35 degrees to around 28 or so ( cut and reweld the neck ???),lower the forks?, lace up an 18" front wheel?, or all three?  Wink

Yup, the steering is miserable. Incremental changes such as wheel diameter and shock length simply chip away at the problem. The only fix is to reduce the frame neck angle. I have a frame jig, and the capability, but not the commitment. I'd swap the engine into a frame with "standard" geometry first, he said, glancing over at a Royal Enfield Bullet sitting in the corner of the shop.

Been riding since I was 7 by now it’s not something you do , it’s very simply who you are. Maybe a few times being sick that I didn’t ride for a stretch, but I always had dreams of riding when I wasn’t. My favorite Freedom !

In that case the next step in de-crusierizing might be a little more challenging. Gotta do something about the chopperesque front end. Reduce the rake from 35 degrees to around 28 or so ( cut and reweld the neck ???),lower the forks?, lace up an 18" front wheel?, or all three?  Wink

Even my sportster, which is no sportbike by any stretch of the imagination, has less rake and trail.

I hear that drum beat often.
Seems like I was born with it.
It can take effort to manage it at times.

Nice work! Mine is somewhat similar. Makes me wonder why Suz never did this.
Royal Enfield and BSA doing it now, Honda and Triumph doing it in India.
Good luck!
Cheers!  Cool
ps: S40 with EFI ?  ooooooooh! Cheesy

I have to feed it , then it pays it back to my ego. Loud & fast feeling the machine as if it were alive eating the road as she goes. Just nothing like big singles ! I might try a weed whipper with wheels but I won’t buy one. More embarrassing than a Prius.
