Vanity '79 R80

Built to show what Side Rock Cycles is all, it has a lot of quality components to improve both the performance and the visual side of the bike. Weight savings and really clean, tidy looks were of primary importance.

The bike was completely gutted. The rebuilt engine with a set of high-performance 1000cc Siebenrock with high comp pistons, heads cleaned with new 34mm Mikuni carbs added to the 'Go', and with a new kit distribution chain, clutch, a lighter, more powerful starter motor, bearings and seals for the engine was ready for action.

The swing arm and frame were de-cards, jump and powder coated satin black then coupled with a subframe SRC lightweight, fully adjustable shock absorbers new 'piggyback' forks and updated. Progressive springs, heavy oil and the new seals will increase the management.

Similarly the tools that have been replaced by an accurate Acewell alloy billet speedo / tachometer unit. Oberon Bar end billet LED indicators allow the front and rear and the LED tail adds a nod to the new technology and save weight. A new lightweight chassis has been done to meet.

Sweet candy green apple with carbon inserts pearlescent were chosen for the combination of colors of the body with the 'carbon' extends to the rims, the covers projector and light coverage to conclude the entire top of the engine. A smaller tank, lightweight alloy was that enhances the minimalist.
