2013 Misfit Blackout
It has been brought to CCW’s attention that some buyers are purchasing bikes site unseen. This image accurately represents the 2013 model with blacked out motor.
For the US, the turn signals remain the same clear lens items. Canada, by law gets the big orange turn indicators (hey, we have to stay legal).
Nice glossy images of the 2013 Misfit to follow in the next month.

tha misfit with seat cover
tha Misfit is an extremely affordable Cafe' style motorcycle. The bike has a DOM main tube that mates up to a boxed section that supports the counter-balanced motor, the large front boxed section adds a great deal of rigidity to the frame and the motor acts as a stressed member. The rear swing arm is a boxed section swing arm for rigidity. The rear shocks have remote reservoir, and the rear springs come with pre-load adjuster to adjust for proper sag. The inverted forks do a nice job of absorbing the bumps, while still keeping the ride sporty. The rear cowl removes for 2 up riding when needed. There is a center stand for those times when parking is tight, or the bike needs some maintenance. The large front and rear slide style brakes stop this light (under 300lbs) bike very quickly.

tha Misfit on the East Bank of the Flats
Cleveland's party scene use to thrive in the flats. It was for all intents and purposes the place to get drunk, and the place to be seen in the 80's to late 90's. Well a few too many drunk people fell into the river that surrounded all the bars and bar patios, and a few of them unfortunately drowned, mix that with a few murders, and the flats quickly became desolate. This is what is left, and the party has moved up the hill to West 9th, to east 4th. This is our Ode to the Cleveland Flats.
