The riding position is much more friendlier.Even with my back carrying on like a crunt, riding nearly 600 kays yesterday was easy as. Was in more pain when I refuelled, than actually riding it! There's no way I could do 600 on the duke in one day. Even driving Syd - Canb - Syd in one day can be a *beep*, but the rod seems to love it.Yes the duke went like a absolute cut snake, but a bike like that belongs on the track. The night rod is just easier to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you find them? Where did you source them from?Considering a Trask turbo kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This set were painted. Have a close up pic if that helps? Good to ride with aired out, until you lean it over and smash a foot peg. It's not a trask kit, heard there no good?Not sure what it is, but the plenum has to be modified to suit the new tank so it's not going on till next year.

Looks like Arnotts. Is the compressor mounted under the airbox?Tough looking bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like, is nice.looks like arnotts rear struts. very popular over in usa. I think there is a guy in QLD that does the kit.I havent read anywhere where the Trask kit has gone boom, but I guess even the best setups can go pop in the wrong hands. Are you going custom or a kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
