Is it just my eyes or is there a hole where there should be aluminium?

What pic are u referring 2?

Wheres the hole youre referring to Brit?
"All new and improved for 2012"...........and still a Service Honda. That frame job looks like shit to me. Why the HELL would you do a section replacement like that?!?! Wow. AJ should hire Stoffers or Solid Bro and get the bikes done right. Except for the part where neither guy is that desperate for a JOB! 12 large for that. Unbelievable. AJ comes over to Vital to blow his horn and get his knob stroked. I called him on the workmanship last time. Sort of forgot to respond to my post, although he was pipin off about his " full rail replacement" jobs. What a joke.

if youre gonna replace the rails at least replace them with the proper tubing, not billit....
or go billit y to the honda tubing

A legend in his own mind.......

Left side of pics, middle pic. Where the lower frame rail is welded to the main frame.

Im not sure if its the pic or my eyes but it looks like a hole....

You have the finest Gen 5 there is Brit... and yea... looks like a shitty weld to me.

When you look too close, sometimes you wish you didnt....

Yup yup, that looks kinda scarey for a 12k bike.....

The best part is he chose THAT photo to post up on his site to ADVERTISE with. I do believe Ill have to make mention of that on Vital. As soon as I get to a real computer and NOT this I Phone. What a mistake this thing was. Anyone ELSE have one of these turds in a shoebox on your front doorstep?

It sucks the fab work looks so jenky compared to what guys build themselves, I'm no pro but the welds look good....meaning the skills to do one of these things the right way is right there at hand. Why he would choose to turn the product out in this fashion VS. doing it right is beyond me when the skills and resources available are in house.

It takes MORE work to hack it together like that...

Mindblowing....

Probably got the cheapest help he can find working in his shop. When you're in the asshole of the country 40 miles from downtown Chicago, any asshole that can hold a tig handle will work for $8 an hour. If he pays that. Ive been to the "dealership". What a shithole. Claims he builds the biles elsewhere. What, a BIGGER SHITHOLE?! He personally might be a great guy, but he's almost as bad as Fanelli. Next time I see he's on Vital I'm looking forward to "chatting" with him. Lol

While the work isnt too great, I can see where the cost comes from. Buy a new bike, strip them of the 450 parts and sell them to cover the cost of the new 500 engine. I bet before they start assembling they have 7- 8K into it.

I dont think anyone argues the price one bit.... its the quality.
