Not too bad.
If you put the kick stand down, get off the bike and let it idle, it will vibrate the bike in circles about twice a minute :-D
I wouldn't want to ride it for any real length of time on the street 2+ hours.
I think it will greatly improve when I build the stage 2 motor which will have a balanced crank.
I ordered some Warp 9 SM wheels today.
Should take about 2 weeks or so before they ship.
Warp 9 does not list them as a option but they will make them.
They said they don't get a lot of orders for them.
Understandable, who else want's to ride one on the street besides men of steel :D

That is good to know that they do custom, how bad they gonna ding you if I might ask?

Being a dealer I get them at cost, a little over 700 plus shipping so I'm guessing about 750.
Then I have a friend who owes me a huge favor.
I can't say exactly what he does but he ends up with many, many, sport tires with low lap times...
I have my dibs on some Dunlop tires to fit.
150/60-17 rear
110/?-17 front :lol:

Too funny about the bike going in circles! Hope to finish my K5 before summer is over. Wife getting into riding track days put a big dent in my 'bike in work' schedule... Fun seeing her enjoying riding motorcycles for the first time. Then again, we went and looked at an 1199 Ducati a couple weeks ago. Ouch! $27K!

27K?
It's only money :lol:
Circles... Yeah, I thought about video taping it but I'm afraid it might tip over...
If your building the engine, get the crank balanced.
I fully planned on putting a balanced crank in this bike but I stumbled across a engine that was ready to go so my stage 2 build will have to wait till later this year.
