This summer has been crazy busy and full of highs and unfortunately lows. Ill start with the good.
I got the carbs pretty dialed in on this bike. It pulls hard! I was never totally happy with the seat I made, it ended up being more round in shape and my stitching was amateur hour, plus with the increase in horsepower I wanted more butt cup-age. I found a guy down here in LA that made me a killer seat while I waited. If you're in the greater Los Angeles area I highly recommend JP's custom seats. super nice guy and very reasonable prices. The work speaks for its self.
I short shifted and hit a false neutral, resulting in over revving the engine (D'oh!)The stock length shifter is just way too long, so I remade it again with a new toe peg as well. I added some bolt on braces for the luggage rack, and I also made some grab handles for when i don't have the rack on. Everything got powder coated in a super-durable textured black to contrast the frame. I didn't have much stuff to meet their minimum so i coated a bunch of other stuff as well like the top triple clamp.
a couple small things here and there like new grips to match the seat, and a quick turn throttle for maximum fun action.
Here are a some hero shots of the bike. Ill post more soon.
