What a great feeling it is to actually be using something you built, eh?! We'd like to see a set of pics taken from around the bike just to see how it all fits together on a functioning CS-1.

how do those oberon clamp on mirrors work out? I bought some joker machine mirrors for mine and am going to probably swap them out for something different. Can't see real well with them because they are so small. Just wondering how the visibility is with those mirrors you have? Also do they vibrate around while driving or are they pretty rigid?

not many. I rode mine 20 miles the other day and my butt was sore. Even worse than my butt being sore, was the fact that both hands were numb and sore from the vibrating and somewhat poor cafe racer handlebar ergonomics. All that being said, I think I still looked cool riding it! I knew it wasn't going to be comfortable going into this.

i dont have a problem with the seat but i do feel the road in my shoulders and upper back. its ok though. i havent been riding in 3 months and im sure in a few weeks my shoulders and upper back will be worked out enough to keep up with the rip'n!

the oberon clamp on mirrors are garbage positioned below the handle bar. its too bad as it looks pretty awesome.

i tried them hanging low and pointing out but my hand blocked my view. if the stem was twice as long i could have them hang down and point inwards but im not sure if oberon sells longer stems. will need to research that.

for now they are above the handle bars and pointing out and they work great. they are compact and they do vibrate, but so does everything else on this bike.

still leaky:

remember this posting:
http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1304297812/93#93

i had a feeling and it turned out i was right. the the gasket i used to replace the old worn out gas cap was a bit too thin letting gas spill out:

so, i went ahead and bought the exact gasket referenced here:

the gas cap is now much more snug compared to the original gasket i used. hopefully it can stand up to the gas
