So far it's great. Hasn't rained for a while here. So I'm gonna try and take it for a spin. I just got back from getting the plates and title for it about 5 minutes ago. Since the clutch is so grabby. I might bump the rollers up to 5 gram for a little more momentum threw the gearing. I think there grabbing at like 6,000. Can't wait to see a lighter rider try this thing out. So I can finally know where it actually stands. Just ordered a 300mm gy6 shock from Amazon for the 70. And a black and white renthal pad for the 90.
EDIT.: started raining right when I went outside. Video tomorrow.

Ya O'verse you're getting to have two little badass rides there- patiently waiting on some vids! Yes sir. Have one thing to do tomorrow then it's time to play. Still dialing in the new Monster Villain. But I think if I keep the videos under a certain time limit they'll download. Well see. |

Didn't get the Spree-A-relli out today. But I did take the 90 to a friends house in Portlan. Got a couple blips of video from the ride back. Gonna have to mount the camera to the bars next. Head moves around to much. youtu.be/irJ3UAGZfk0youtu.be/wF0hnPh_fBw |

When its on your head/helmet, the body tends to absorb most of the road vibrations. Plus on the helmet/head you sorta get that "John Malkovic" effect. |

I still have to figure out how long of a video I can record before my iPad or android device won't download the videos. So I've been keeping them short. Well give the bar mount a shot if it doesn't rain tomorrow. The Villian supposed to have stabilization so we'll see. |

That curvy road looked fun! Did you ever even let off the throttle? Haha.
I tend to prefer the helmet mounted videos to the bike mounted ones. The head movement isn't bothersome and it's cool to see what you're seeing imo. The bike mounted vids always seem to be real heavy on the vibrations. Again, just imo!

It doesn't hurt to try bar mounting the cam if the movement bugs you, but it can be real tough to keep the vibration of any sort of frame mount from affecting the video. Using yourself as a vibration damper is the most effective thing I've tried. I'm sure there are some really expensive mounts out there that do it though. Other bright side to a helmet cam is that you can operate the camera to see different things just by looking at them. If you want a stationary mount, see if you can mount it from a body panel. That has transmitted less vibration to the cam for me than the frame.

I like to use my chest mount. Kinda Makes you feel like your riding the bike when watching the vid.

Thanks guys. Still working out the kinks. I've mounted my phone to my front fairing before for a run down hwy 9 in Saratoga California. Which actually came out pretty good. If you guys ever make it out there. Hwy 9. Is the  . It probably be the only reason I'd ever go back. |

Got the gy6 rear shock in yesterday. Mounted today. Still need to trim the rear fairing a little so it doesn't rub. postimg.org/image/p1u4dzd0f/ |

Nothing worse than getting stuck behind a slow azz truck through the twisties haha. Looked like you were boogying pretty good toward the end though. Nice scenery! I almost forgot what fall looks like...  |

I almost forgot what fall looks like... Yeah. Never fails. It's sure pretty here in Oregon in the fall. I Know Floridas got some real nice areas to scoot around in. Too much rain here. But that's probably why it's so beautiful. |
