What's up guys? Finally got a little money together and got some work done on my bike. Heres what she looked like with her clothes on: (needed to pass an inspection for V.I.N. verification)

Here's how she looks as of right now:

Here's a pic of the headlight brackets I made out of galvanized pipe clamps and rubber strips

I still have some work to do on those brackets as well as mounting blinkers, cleaning up the tail, putting the carbs back on, painting etc. That's a Buell BLAST headlight BTW. Let me know what you think, I'll post more pics and info as I go.

rrfighter · 01-04-2011, 07:04 PM

i so like that headlight. kickass bike man. i bet it sounds fooking loud huh?

Garlic_Sauce · 01-04-2011, 07:23 PM

Thanks guys, Yeah it's pretty loud. I opened up the can expecting there to be no packing left, but to my surprise it was still about 80%. It's a good loud though.
I forgot to list the mods:
Performance: Full Yoshimura exhaust, stage 3 dyno jet kit, K&N pods, '92 USD forks set-up and swingarm and WEIGHT REDUCTION!
Aesthetics: Bar-end mirrors, Carbon fiber triple tree cover and bar-ends, Clear fuel filters, translucent red fuel lines, Buell BLAST headlight, homemade headlight brackets

i plan on making one...one day

Garlic_Sauce · 01-05-2011, 04:52 PM

Thanks, I wired the blinkers today and made some better arms for the headlight brackets. It's too cold out to work long enough to get any real progress done.

Garlic_Sauce · 01-09-2011, 06:02 PM

Got some work done today.

I used the second pair of pipe clamps and rubber strips to secure the canister to the undertail

I also cut out a new gasket for the petcock and RTV'd the bolts and edges to seal em up.

I made a bracket for my plate too. Next I need to re-wire the taillight/blinkers set-up, but first I need to find a cool taillight *Searches E-BAY like a robot on crack*
