The guy left the landing gear down well after takeoff. Six thirty.Too loud for me.
Prolly wouldn’t have said that a few years ago tho !

That's the first 961 I have seen with a totally silent primary/clutch.The guy left the landing gear down well after takeoff. Six thirty.
A short Visordown clip from last year - not sure this was widely circulated at the time. Brief comment on export.
What kind of exhausts are this?I said a few posts ago that I was starting to like the black and polished engine finish.
But I’m cured now. Def back to saying raw alloy is best!
Also… is it only me who’s REALLY tired of seeing bright freakin’ gold freakin’ forks every freakin’ where ?!?
Raw alloy engine with blacked out chassis components and forks. Def the way to go. But then again, s’wot I did with mine last time !
Trouble is, that’d be a heck of a lot of work to replicate with a new ‘un…

Cheers, and yeah mega low. I took inspiration from the original cafe racers of the 60s, a time when back pain didn't exist. I couldn't go as extreme as those guys though, as the top yoke is already pretty low down and the headlamp brackets got in the way.All kinds of interesting going on at the front end of Stu’s Dommie, that I had’nt noticed before (Pic by Paul FB). Would that front end be quite low or am I missing something.
Looks the bomb! Congrats Stu - a foregone conclusion methinks!

Factory none cat headers with Ollie’s fabulous silencersWhat kind of exhausts are this?
Well we agree re the gold tat but will have to agree to disagree re ‘appropriate’ use of CF !No, not just you. But I've detested anything gold anonodised for over 20 years. Nothing says "Tat" more.
...but I hate anything made from glorified fibreglass (carbon fibre) too.
Sorry guys - can’t get this Visordown clip to work on the forum - It doesn’t run. I’ll try and find it on their site.What happened?
Works for me, must be a country specific thing.Sorry guys - can’t get this Visordown clip to work on the forum - It doesn’t run. I’ll try and find it on their site.

My goodness, such language, on a gentleman's site, really!Also… is it only me who’s REALLY tired of seeing bright freakin’ gold freakin’ forks every freakin’ where ?!?
This in my opinion is by far the best looking color combo. Love the black forks, black bits and raw engine. Wish mine was like this.I said a few posts ago that I was starting to like the black and polished engine finish.

Yep, that’s a sweet lookin bike - just needs some gold forks to finish it off! They must have forgotten to coat those! I’d have lodged a complaint!This in my opinion is by far the best looking color combo. Love the black forks, black bits and raw engine. Wish mine was like this.
I have the black Ohlins on my Domi and the gold on my commando. I prefer the black.Yep, that’s a sweet lookin bike - just needs some gold forks to finish it off! They must have forgotten to coat those! I’d have lodged a complaint!
Still haven’t cut the bloody grass FE!
Worth a chuckle - I especially like the rather random bonus point for a fairing! Ironic as I’m trying to fit one currently, but of course the original cafe racers did’nt have fairings - it was everything paired back as far as possible. If it was’nt essential for running it was gone!
