Im used to running with no front brake...have for years...you dont really want a great front brake with a springer this long anyway....so little weight is on teh front wheel that its easy to lock it up and have it slide out from under you if you arent careful...(been there) better to have a weak front and great rear on these...I know there is better technology out there these days, but the point of this bike was that EVERY part on it except the coils are period correct pieces...I made it from the ground up...frame too...paint...all of it....

 

I guess with a wide rear like that your brakes would be better than I would think
Don't get me wrong, I'm a great admirer of ALL bikes, and that one of yours
looks brilliant.
I don't think I'd have the skill to ride one with any confidence.....

 

thanks for the compliment. its just like a long easy chair...without the stuffing...and the springs...and the support...lol...I built it with 4.1" of trail so it is easy as hell to steer..ride for miles on end with no hands...just lay back in the seat and chill....I love em all...even trikes...the bike is a slow rider...dont do anything fast...ease into the turns just like your floating and all will be good...granted...stopping isnt the greatest...but I dont normally haul *** on it anyway...although I did have it up over 100 mph on my way back from north carolina last year...that was a trip in itself.

 

This is a fantastic vid , seen it many times but it just never gets old!

Proves beyond doubt , that its the rider not the bike . Yellow Wolf is a great rider and rides the dragon with great skill. The fact that he does it on a Goldwing is really cool . He could teach me a thing or two!!

Wish we had a deals gap near where I live , I'd never be off the thing . you guys that live around that way are soooooo lucky.
