Knob sticks off to the left of the gauge, you twist it.

realllly....hmmm, there is a hole next to the gauge, but no knob, maybe its gone missing....I guess thats the only way to reset the trip odometer; its prolly not that huge of deal, but the fuel gauge doesn't work, so I wanted some way to figure out when I needed to fuel up without having to pop the tank lid everytime....

If there's a hole there then it's missing. Sucks. Just try to keep up with your trips, I usually refill every 150 miles.

If there's a hole there then it's missing.

yeah, the hole to the left of the speedo has no knob to turn for the trip odometer....is there some replacement knob I could get somewhere, or would I have to buy the whole gauge assembly?

for you guys who are not fans of the stretched swingarm...cmon. you dont need any more evidence that this. just look at it. it looks bad ***! (watch out over speedbumps, ya, but just look at it! sweet!)

damn you! I was just going to welcome the guy to KR and compliment him on a clean looking bike, until you said that. but now I gotta say sumthin', and that is that I see no evidence that tells me it is any less gay in this case than any other. however, I will admit that it is a bit "less gay" because the rest of the bike is done with good taste.

So Adam, welcome to KR. No offense intended on the "gay" comment. I just feel that way about any extended swingarm that is not needed. when I see an extended swingarm, I expect it to be for a reason....as in you gotta have a modified 1127 sitting in that bike. otherwise, it's just "bling".

Great looking bike, aside from that. looks real clean and I love the dual exhaust. the whole thing comes together very nicely, aside from that swingarm. me thinks it would look a whole lot nicer if you cut a couple of links outta that chain and pushed that rear wheel up near where it is supposed to be.....and your handling will improve along with it.

no offense....just being honest with my opinion.
if your curious, just slide it up there to take a pic and make a poll on which looks better. if anything, you will get an honest idea on what the "general population" thinks...if you care about those things.

your right...I don't care...its my bike...I bought it cuz I liked what the previous owner had done to it (including the extended swingarm), and I'm gonna ride the hell out of it, simply because I love riding, its in my blood, its my one true passion; and yes, I like the swingarm, actually I love it, I think it sets the bike apart from others on the road...thats how I roll...I don't like the standard 'run of the mill' stuff, its just not cool to me, if my bike gets lost in the parking lot, then I don't want it....but thanks for the compliments...sorta

Damn straight. I run a fighter for the same reason. Who needs the same ole **** that everyone else drives? It may be a beat up looking bike but it's my bike and everyone will recognize it as such.

it's cool that you love it. and I was sincere about the rest looking really nice.
as for the swingarm....hey, whatever floats your boat

[vtchopperdude]

alright fellas, I went by the gas station the day I bought the bike, and filled up the tank...well, now I can't get the gas lid back open; I can turn it about a quarter turn clockwise, then it won't turn anymore...is there a trick I missing when trying to open it; I feel like this is a dumb question, but I don't remember having any trouble with it when filling up

Nice bike, welcome

Wow, I like the look of that. It also looks lowered, right? If so how much?
