hpn 1043cc airhead

[tangle foot]

first post on here , hello all , here is my bike .onyack

it started life as a r80gs basic , but in 2002 it was sent to HPN to be transformed. Marzzochi magnum forks , billet 6 pot front brake , Technoflex rear shock and much more .Hope you like it as much as i do.

Welcome aboard....don't worry, we have already dissected/slagged/praised it ( just the 'norm' on here )

I'd blame Thunder if I were you..he is a trouble maker

Give us a 'write-up' we'd genuinely be interested

yes i read the thread , while i was bidding...made me smile ,agree with a lot that was said..colour and dual seat are bloody ugly, stop people nicking it though...i have owned a couple of early g/s`s over the years and hankered after another ...i contacted hpn about building me one a couple of years back...way to much for my pocket , i reckon about 23k...so for me this was a bargain onyack ..a single seat and paint job , jobs a good un .I have done about 300 miles on it this week , best airhead i`ve ever ridden , tall 5th gear is a real plus ,dead chuffed . Panniers and rack will probably go on ebay , i`ll offer them on here first though .

For that money I would of expected at least indicators that don't hang like a pair of old tits

Paintjob does not do that bike any justice, one man's art another man's junk

Ermm ok about my comments......

Seriously have you fixed the indicators

This particular picture looks better than the pics on fleabay, the paintjob is just well different and not what you would normally expect from HPN. Either way you are still sitting with a cracking bike with awesome modifications

I have put about a 1000 miles on her now and loved every one of them...the engine is a gem so smooth ...the handling is fantastic and the suspension is top class: HPN`s rear suspension A frame is really neat

and when my photo bucket is bloody working i`ll post some photos

You have been robbed! All thet cash for a new seat and you still have to use a Whoopee cushion to get comfy
