I just finished this bike this year after a 3 year build, all ultima driveline with a 120" elbruto engine, drag belt drive, 6 speed trans, all show polished, tins painted rootbeer candy faded to black on bototm with real machine turned gold leaf, everything else is powder coated. Has way too much power for what it is and runs great, rides good for a hardtail but def not smooth. maybe 400 miles on it total. Needs small details to be 100% complete, seat covered, cable clamps, stuff like that. It does have both grips on it now and a few other things since pics. I work 60 miles from home and this isnt the most comfy this to ride 120 miles a day and I need to fit on the back so this needs to go.

Looking to trade for a truck, car, another bike, guns, whatever you have throw it at me, looking for something around 13k

I thought that was a joke at first...or is it?

Looks really really good. Choppers arent my thing really. But the colors looks great, super clean.

Its for real, 6 suction cups hold a pad on the rear fender for the girl to sit on! Very commong actually but usually used on soft tail bikes so its actually bearable for someone to ride on it. If I end up keeping it Im gonna put pegs on it and we'll just go bar hoping on it. really isnt bad at all for in town riding, long rides wear on ya a little bit tho

yeah its loud, not many V-twins out there have mufflers anyway so its not extremely loud in comparison but being 1998cc's with a .670 lift cam, high compression and the exhaust aiming up does give it a unique sound, specially at WOT.

Honestly this bike has so much torque and power I have yet to open it up and fully run thru even 1st thru 3rd gear. maybe 3rd on the hwy for a little bit but its crazy in 1st and 2nd gear, wont wheelie like a crotch rocket so you better hang on! I have ridden a bike to 8's and 150+mph before so I know what it feels like. I know if someone was to ride this down the 1/4 it would not surprise me one bit if it ran low 11's or even faster with a good light rider on it, nothing like keeping up with or beating 600cc sport bikes without even having to down shift LOL

Thanks man! yeah I always have some sort of project to keep myself busy, just finished doing a engine swap in my GTP because that spun a bearing :( Now Im building a little steam engine to keep my hands busy.

Just wait till you see the next big project I have been thinking about, john deere inspired!! Not for everyone but it should be cool at least

idk if Metro HD & suzuki would let you do your own tuning on the dyno, but for about $150 they can tune it on the dyno. Then you can find out just how much power its putting down. I imagine its a pretty light bike being so bare bones? What do those normally put down for power anyway.

Now theres an idea! Id like to get it on a dyno and see what it makes, I think it could use a little more jet in the carb too. They claim around 120-130+hp at the wheel generally with this engine.. Its nothing TOO crazy but with the torque of this V-twin at lower rpm it feels crazy. I dont know the weight of it, but there is alot of metal in this thing! I have a set of scales I should check it out one of these days.
