Everyone else has told me the same thing, I still want em. Lol. Dirty gold rims are better than dirty black rims! Gogrom are still saying they are coming, just like they did 5 months ago, the money is ready. All I can do is wait and hope. By the way, your aluminum swingarm looks great on
@Hairless bike. We will be putting some miles on it soon to see if it last longer than the stock one. I need you to give your Gcraft a rough life to see if it last, I think I will buy one if my new oem one cracks.
Yeah man, I think you just gotta install those gold wheels and not worry about it. They look sweet. They look very “Honda”. I’m probably too OCD for them. Well, I’m probably too OCD for most everything...lol. It’s exhausting. Trust me.
So glad to hear that you guys got that Kepspeed swingarm installed. It is a pretty good looking piece for the money.
I’ve been riding the new G-Craft swingarm as much as possible. So far it is fantastic.
The weather has been perfect. Blue Bird days. Dry air. The leaves are starting to change color at higher elevations. Doesn’t get much better than that.
The bike handles really well now. I don’t think I realized just how low in the stroke that front fork was riding previously. The Ohlins fork kit is working out great. It never did weep a drop of fork fluid. Still need to install the Ohlins stickers.
The rear suspension just works. Almost never think about it. I believe the Ohlins rear shock is adjusted pretty well. The sag feels perfect. It does well even with the wife on the back. I think you will love a G-Craft swingarm. They are a work of art.
Remember, I mentioned that G-Craft doesn’t provide any way to attach the rear brake line? I ordered a pair of stainless steel brake line clips from Core Moto. They literally fit the Spiegler brake line grommets perfectly. Ended up mounting them to the inside of the fender hugger using some black stainless DLC coated pan head bolts from ProBolt, along with stainless lock nuts. Looks pro. I would recommend this if you get a G-Craft swingarm. Keeps the brake line up off of the swingarm. Not the best photos, but here you go.
One of the best things in my opinion are those Kenda KD1 Kwick tires. They are dirt cheap, but handle really well. The speeds I ride at (pretty quick, but certainly not race pace), I don’t feel like I’m anywhere near their limit. One of the best bang for the buck upgrades.
If I had to sum up the suspension, brakes, and tires.....I would describe them as “confidence inspiring”. The bike just feels much more capable.
