Pretty nice try on the safety wire job. The only thing I would have done differently is I would have put the tail on the other end.
If your get serious about safety wiring, you may want to pick up a pair of safety wire pliers. They're cheap and make the job way easier. I worked on airplanes for over 10 years and have safety wired about a bajllion bolts. I always used the pliers when they were available.

 

Thanks. I bought the pliers yesterday. I suck at safety wiring though, I keep breaking the wires.

 

Breaking the wire is usually comes from 1 of 3 things. 1. Make sure you are actually using safety wire. 2. Your twists are too tight. or 3. the angle coming out of the bolt head is too severe.

 

Thanks, I am using the safety wire that was setting beside the tool at Harbor Freight. I think my main problem is the angle out of the bolt.

 

Playing around with the drive side. Nice thing about being able to make my own decals if that I get tired of them and want to change something it will only cost a few cents.

 

Could anyone tell me what the factory gearing is on the 04? Wanting to see if I have factory gearing or not.

 

Damn, we posted up the same time and you are ahead! lol. Cool graphics though. Viagra and the jason mask are key.

Quick question though...is that the stock setup for the pipe running to the muffler? I just always thought they ran up the center or behind the mono....just curious, guess I never really noticed till I saw the pic on yours...

Everything looks great though...really love your decals eh? do you keep putting them on or are you doing them all then clear coat or?

 

Thank you, I appreciate it. The decals are on top of the clear coat. This way if I get tired of something I can just take it off and replace it. The white stripes are not decals though, they are paint. I am going to have to redo the Jason mask with some heat. It didn't lay down just right.

The pipe was already on the bike when I bought it so I can't answer you about how it runs. It has a Jardine header and a Micron slip on. That's about all I know about it. I assume it has a factory mid-pipe but I have not looked close enough to make sure of that yet.

 

After a little research I figured out that my gearing is +2 in the back. So it is 16/45 instead of 16/43. Not a big deal but nice to know.

Just because I'm bored I am adding another picture.

 

Hey dude can you explain how you made your decals and what not. I see you said something about a vinyl cutter, are they expensive, easy to use, etc? Are you tracing them from pictures found on the net or? And are you just sticking the vinyl on?
