two rubber pipes that connect to the (hideous looking) air filter that suck crank case gases , then feed them back into the air filter(did i mention it looks hideous) wrong colour tank looks wrong too (IMO, but hey what's that worth)

It doesn't hold together for me. Why go so far as to push a 1200 engine up to 1400, but not even go to an aftermarket shock? If he wanted a bike that would go and stop faster, he should have just bought something else and left an S1W alone. Also true that the intake and tank aren't helping, either. |

 Why go to all that trouble with go fast and stop fast without sorting handling and 'not riding it hard' defeats the object in my book.

 Don't all S1WL have a polished alloy dash, or is that just mine.

emissions related TBH it's better to vent them to a catch can or atmosphere stops the bike ingesting it's own puke , waste by products |

Is it a good idea to have two different sorts of brake caliper on the same front end? |

Are they not the same caliper? |

Is that an airfilter on the side or a beehive? Maybe the bees can reduce emissions by eating them and turning them into Carbon DiHoneycide. |

I agree but come on .......anything looks better than that " Heath Robinson " style bit of plumbing - called a Forcewinder- even with a left over sock trying to disguise it
