Finally a reality (dual-lever controls)

theredsox · August 22nd, 2011, 09:44 PM

Took 6 months, lots of research, and more money on parts/labor than the bike, but finally a bike to start learning on

Work done:
1in lowering kit
custom dual levers (front brake/clutch)
quick-shifter (up & down)

WOW those dual levers look sweet! NICE work. Hows the ride?

Snake · August 22nd, 2011, 10:06 PM

Great looking bike. You got some gear to go along with the bike?

Alex · August 22nd, 2011, 10:11 PM

Nice work!

theredsox · August 22nd, 2011, 10:21 PM

Yes I have gear. I'm in the process of moving apartments right now. Had the bike delivered to the new place, but most of my stuff hasn't moved over yet. I'm still waiting on a couple pieces of armor as well before I test 'er out. Probably will on Sunday when I get back from a quick trip to LA.

I have:
- Icon Carbon Fiber Lifeform helmet
- Alpinestars Sigma Drystar jacket and pants
- Alpinestars Net Air boots
- Alpinestars SMX gloves

Waiting on:
- Forcefield kneepads
- Icon Stryker vest
- Alpinestars Reflex elbow guards

Nice bike! I bet you can't wait to ride it; have fun and ride safe!

LazinCajun · August 23rd, 2011, 08:03 AM

Cool setup, congrats on the new bike!

Also, ugh, moving sucks.

austexjg · August 23rd, 2011, 02:17 PM

Those are some awesome looking levers - great job all around.

theredsox · August 23rd, 2011, 09:41 PM

Thanks everyone!

@Lazin: Yea, it does. Really not happy to be moving only after 1 year in my current place, but had to do it. Current neighbors adjacent to my bedroom have a loud alarm that starts at 5:30 and they are snooze crazy. It goes off 5-7 times usually. And newer neighbors on the other side feel that playing amplified guitars at 1am in an apartment building in acceptable (they are playing right now *sigh*). Neither is as bad as last year with an asshat who was a floor below me with a huge amplified bass guitar. I literally went crazy having everything in my apartment shake for hours on end 4-5 times a week.

Sneak the bike into your apartment and wake them up every morning at 5am with some high rpm reving.

I can empathize with crappy apartment neighbors. Last apartment the guys above us forgot to put out a bbq or something and it burned a hole through the floor and we got woken up by firemen trying to stop the fire.

theredsox · August 24th, 2011, 07:47 PM

Yea, the building 100ft across the parking lot in my complex burnt down due to a BBQ last month. Charcoal BBQ on wood balcony, bad idea.

Timon · August 27th, 2011, 02:05 PM

I love the idea behind the dual front levers. I'd like it even more if it were on the left side of the bike lol

. They do look pretty awesome though. Great looking bike all around, enjoy the rest of the riding season, it's a blast.

choneofakind · August 27th, 2011, 02:17 PM

I love it! congrats on bringing it into reality! Have a ball

s2kenny · August 27th, 2011, 04:31 PM

Very cool setup! The whole thing looks very clean and professional. Have fun and ride safe
