Figured I better put some pics on. I've done the 'cheap' mods so far. This winter I'll do more. I've mostly done painting as you can see. But what I really like is the removal of the rear hugger and my homemade FE kit. Enjoy.

Oh yeah and my kit is legal (in Canada) I went to the local cop shop and asked them and they we're able to see my plate even though it is tucked way under and they liked the fact that I still had my factory turn signals.

The bike looks awesome man keep us posted on further mods. I do have one suggestion please ditch the reflectors on the front forks that was one of the first things to go on mine when i got it.

Hey the bike looks great!

BTW...what paint did you use on the muffler covers? Just curious.

eparisien · 09-04-2008, 06:29 AM

I never noticed that, thanks, its coming off this morning.

I would get some sliders on there ASAP and stickers on bikes are a bit naff especially when they are "Brickstones"

Don`t take it personal we all have our little likes and dislikes on here.

Nice looking bike though.

n1oned I used 'Krylon' plastic paint (aerosol can) Satin finish. The covers don't produce enough heat to ripple or crack the paint. Also all you need to do is wipe it clean then paint. The can even says 'no sanding or priming required'. For the windscreen I used the same but in a glossy black and the rad cover, kick guards etc. I used the 'metal' satin all by Krylon. The metal needs the grey metal primer.

Bike looks great. Good work!

By the way, what did you use to/how did you --> make your own FE kit? It looks nice, and laws permitting where I live, I might give it try.

Thanks!

Nice bike! I really like the look of the bike without the rear hugger...I think you may have sold me...

necrotimus · 09-04-2008, 07:55 AM

love it without the hugger... look better in red though...

you may want to consider black reflective rim stripes if you remove the reflectors for a little more visibility if you do ride at night
