Nice Reflex :daumenhoch:
-
tut tut tut!bars need to go back a tad on the reflex it is not a burner!and lose the snakepost and Aeroyal seat!! ::)
Some freestyle tyres would look waaaaay better too!Sorry to appear critical,it's just a little bit offensive atm!!These are only my opinions and only meant in the best possible way.Sometimes a bit of constructive criticism is needed!with a few tweaks you could turn a nice bike into a stunner! :daumenhoch:
EDIT I would think about trading the bars for chrome ones too,the black ones don't go at all! :-\

Cheers for the replies/comments fully understand where your all coming from just I only used parts available to me out of the shed the aero is Very in ya face. Id like to swap the blue comps for orange panaracers the seat I'm watching an orange kashimax too which should neaten it all up and of course adding another bloody wedge of hard earned to it :idiot2:
The steering feels waaay too positive when bars are straight hence the lean
I did search for chrome bars too but there pricey so got the black ones and looked into striping them down as they are plated by looks of it in places and under a chip I've since acquired there's chrome too it definitely isn't bare metal anyway

Its a good start bud
Top tip: Position your bars for the photos and then have them how the hell you like for riding :daumenhoch:

not sure about the bars being chrome underneath dude,I think I asked the question before and the answer was no.If they do appear chrome then get 'em stripped!!New tyres and a seat will transform the bike!you might want to fit a pair of matching cables too!look forward to seeing it with some tweaks :daumenhoch:

Ill post a couple pics of the chrome on the bars as I've chipped them and underneath Is definitely chrome near the skyway sticker/print blue front dia compe cable already ordered its abit of a mish mash between the 2 bikes as they were only bits I had at the time
The aero was a part/ex against my old kuwahara 2kz 24" so still very much how the original builder builder wanted it with the blue and orange
The dyno was by chance really as it was a frame I bought then ended up with some spare gusset rims and pretzel bars form the aero and thought it be rude not to build the dyno bits as a bike after looking through the build threads on here

If these are the new Skyway bars with the etched logos on the front they ARE chrome underneath mate, I striped a pair in about 2 mins flat with Synstrip easiest job ever, the etching clearly will not come away. :daumenhoch:

Any pics of your stripped bars FUNKYWORM seems strange they'd have them powdered when there chrome :idiot2:
-
Not the comp 3's lol
-
The aero is now on eBay guys priced well i think considering the others on there
All to fund a transmission rebuild on my TM 125 after a practice session im finding a false neutral which is bloody scary :shocked:
