WOW chandlierman,

I'd love a 300 on the back end of my bike too. But what about some guys comets that the the handling will be disrupted and reduced. Do you agree with that and are you prepared for a poorer performing bike through bendThat would bother me.

You post says "already in development" so I'm assuming you're not finished the project?
Why did you choose 300 and not say 360?
How'ed you step the drive shaft out to accommodate the extra width?
Is it angled and incorporated 'U' joints?
I'm not being critical, interested - chrome looks great, I love bling, do you intend chroming the shaft drive housing?
How much did the wheels set you back?

Apologies for the questions but I 'm most interested and I may do it myself.

Me thinks that there would be a skill issue.

WOW good, or WOW crap?

1. Chopped about 3" off the 2 supporting arms for the old mudguard. Quite surprisingly, I gently hammered them so both ends meet, shaved a bit off the bottom and welded them back together, painted matt black - you'ed never know they've been cut.
2. Made a 50mm bar to wrap around the back.
3. fitted a $30 trailer mudguard (not a $800 from HD) fits and looks perfect.
4. Fitted LED lights, stop and turn front and back.
5. Chopped the front mudguard.
6. Installed new smaller stylish mirrors with inbuilt LED indicators.
7. Chopped the exhausts and re-welded the mufflers to end flush with my rear axle.

It is not my bike.... As I understand it is under construction via Taylormade wheels in the UK ........i have run a 280 on a Vmax and I have friends who run 330's on the Vmax......this is done by adding a second UJ and a shorter drive shaft .....from experience you get used to the handling ....it's not as if the R3 handles like a sports bike in the first place

My "WOW" was in surprise that a Tesla greased Rango's Rocket.
He never did say if it was a true drag race or just from some running start.
Twas just surprised is all.

Tesla claim around a 2.8 sec 0-60mph time in its full-power mode...my best on the stock roadster (according a mates data logger) was 3.5...
