Hello brutal customs Forum,
I'm a fairly new rider only been riding for about a year after building out a used 94 vt 1100 I got. Yes I am the dummy that put a ton of work into a bike before really getting into riding. Building the bike so far has worked out but I can't not say im rather paranoid when out on the road. I enjoy building things more than riding for sure and its not because the riding isn't fun its the drivers and wisconsin's absolutely screwd up roads. So far the adventure has been fun aside from the months of trying to get the bike to run again after only taking it apart and then putting it back together.
Here's an instagram link to my bike and the suit of armor I wear that I built the bike to match.
I built the bike for a music video idea I had for an artists called immortal girlfriend. I was on a pretty big time crunch to get it done "before" shooting so I could practice riding and get some time on the road. Ofc I ran into every problem possible and didn't finish the bike until a bit before shooting. My first time riding at highway speeds ended up being with an extra 90 lbs of armor on. Def not the smartest moment ive had but we made it through the shoot without any hiccups. Surprisingly the suit added significant aerodynamics becuase riding back with the suit off for the first time actually felt sketchier with the wind drag than it did on the way there.
Here's a link to the music video it was used in.

Anyways I joined the forum because I'm looking to add more to the bike which includes the droput pips and performance kit. I posted a question about it already in the questions thread. If anyone has some answers that would be awesome! Thanks.
