Been Around the Block
Sup guys?! Since my last idea for my project didn't go as planned, i have decided to go a different route with my girl Gamygyn! I decided she needs more sleek-style muscle, than ratty bone stock muscle like i was going to do! So she is going sport!
So i started by changing up some of the little things for the time being and so far its turning out pretty good. Just waiting on some parts to get an idea of stance and such for the sitting position and deciding where to go from there. Winter is rolling around and its about time to start tearing the engine apart and rebuilding so hopefully this plan goes much smoother in the slow winter times since i was always on the move before on my original bobber plan!
The pics provided show her as she sits now. I'm currently waiting on a few small things to come in for some of the basis behind where im going. So i have to wait a few weeks before i can decide EXACTLY where I'm going yet(All depends on how things fit together).
Things i have, that are waiting to be put on:
Used 18x1.85 Rim from a GS450S (Needs cleaned up and painted along with my current front rim)
New tires waiting for the rims.
Brand new gasket set.
New paint job(Spray bomb enamel)
Bar-End Mirrors
Things coming in the mail currently:
New quarter fairing(Mostly for mock and match up or to just play with to see if i like it)
Used universal Rearsets that included the linkage and mounting tabs.
Possibly a new exhaust but unsure because i like the cocktail shakers i have, but might redo the pipes.
Wiring stuff.
New LED's for idiot light set-up im working on.
Possible future add-ons/upgrades:
Home made Cafe seat cowl and seat pad(Probably going to be a thin steel)
New shocks(Not sure if i want to go old school or upgrade to gas shocks)
New battery tray and electronics location.(Probably going to happen during re-wire anyways)
New battery(Eventually getting a lithium 8cell)
Most everything else is going to stay original but is going to get a good cleaning and shining!
Haven't decided if its in my best interest to cut up the rear.... it seems to be in good positioning for a new cafe seat cowl but thats why im waiting on the rearsets before i decide. The Position will help me decide how i feel about it. If needed i could always get long shocks, and bring the front end down a bit for position. But we will see!
If you have any ideas, or any input, I don't mind constructive criticism and appreciate any inspiration if you have it to offer!
Thanks!
