Luverly motor, shame about the cables!
« on: April 14, 2019, 05:11:01 PM »
At present getting the cables routed on the Duke is proving a little problematical!  ::)  However, this clean looking bit of kit appears to have real problems!  :-X

Knit one, pearl one, slip one behind! ;)

yes, bit of a shambles isn't it.... also i'm not sure that that is the best place for the oil tank..... pity... could be a great bike with a bit more attention to detail.

It's often the details that let down otherwise nice bikes. Rev counter drives are always a bit of a problem as they often collide with exhausts, but there's no excuse for the clutch and throttle.

Agree about the oil tank as well, and I personally would prefer to have a front brake.

But for what it is, seems well executed but I hope more attention has been paid to the internals than the cable runs.....
