Work on the bike - mods & other projects
So that we don't have to corrupt other threads I thought I'd start this general catch-all "work on the bike" thread.
Yep, I understand the pain of having to move around to work. In a week or so I'll be putting new tires on the Monster. I'll take two stands to the shop to lift the bike. Then ride the bike into town. Wheels off and use the car to transport them to the tire shop then car back to my shop. Install the wheels. Ride back back home. Get a ride back to shop. Load stands into car and car back to home. I could do it all at home I suppose but it's safer to leave the bike up in the air at work. No kids running wild around bike at the shop like they would be at home.

Re: Work on the bike - mods & other projects
speaking of mods, does anyone want to buy my red Puig Raptor windscreen? It's just sitting on a shelf here in the condo.

Re: Work on the bike - mods & other projects
Well, the exhaust for the Daytona came in last night, so that will be going on soon, as well as a little flat black paint to darken things up a bit. Also, looking into getting some pazzo levers and maybe some rearsets for it soon. Oh yea, I am also getting some "frame finishers" to delete the pillion pegs seeing as how Alex does not want to even think of trying to get on the back of this bike.  |

Re: Work on the bike - mods & other projects
Ok, got the new can on and DAMN does it sound raspy!! Almost like a little toy F1 car.
BUT then I became a knucklehead and decided to spray the plastic heat shroud flat black. Can't really get that to look decent at all. Oh well, bike doesn't look half bad without it. |

Re: Work on the bike - mods & other projects
While starting to get ready for the Duc tech onslaught this weekend I started digging through boxes looking for old & new clutch parts. Geez meneez, I found stuff I forgot that I forgot I had sitting around. It's like a mini parts store. That's not even counting the left over inventory from "Mac's Golf". Looks like I'm going to be getting busy soon with craigslist & ebay. :
