Hey guys! Remember me? This is what I've been up to...
Before (April '09) /After (September '10)
Finished top end rebuild, around 500 miles on the clock so far. Learning a lot about what I need to do this winter. Already installing a set of FIAMM horns to replace the POS OEM horn. Starter switch, gauges, turn signals, brighter tail light. Considering complete front brake upgrade if funds permit.
Has, complete roller bearing conversions, 18 in rear wheel, new rubbers, new coils, leads, caps, dialed carburetors (jets, needles, floats, body all changed), new exhaust system, new drive chain and sprockets, Race-Tech emulators, progressive fork springs, upgraded rear shocks, upgraded aux oil cooler/filter. New seat/tank combo and complete rewiring. Replaced most of charging system. Removed a good 15 lbs from the frame. POR-15'd tank. Ready to be ridden and abused; all work done by me.
I've been concentrating mostly on performance modifications to frame, carbs, engine. Handles like a dream and it isn't too slow. Still need to finish the side covers.
Anyone have suggestions for passenger pegs that don't vibrate too much?
All in all, I'm glad to have it at a point where I can work on small mods and ride at the same time =].
