Your Bike(cruiser) look quite nice and I bet it handles heaps better that my Boss Hoss, call me crazy, but, There something about putt-ing down the main drag on a bike with a V8 - 8,226.80cc (502.00 cubic inches) that turns me on.

Polished outside, black inside
haven’t clean then since I brought the bike, though they are looking a tad shabby, I like the look

They look really good. That's exactly what I'd like to have done to my rims.
Funny about the Boss Hoss. There is a Honda Dealer here who always has them on the showroom. All that motor sitting between 2 wheels. I think they have a 2 speed tranny. I don't know if you have seen one in person but it's hard to imagine how wide it is.

Just when I start felling good, somewhere around 6.5 to 7.5, I loose a cylinder and any chance of more fun stops. I stop accelerating and is comes back in.
6,000 to 8,000 is the torque peak for the 1000F and that's where the fun is. If it was my bike, the first thing I would check is the ignition advance with a standard timing light. The timing mark should align with the "F" mark at idle and move clockwise as the speed increases. Should align with the advance mark at 5k. If it doesn't, the pulse generator is bad.

I think the tranny has R,N,F, The back wheel is wide as it is high.
I read a review on them, the reviewer said that the bike was great to ride as long as you don’t want to turn.
I would love to take one for a ride, but as for owning one, Nar
