So i've been a member here for some time, i used to be fairly active until last year when this place had a technical melt down, and i found other forums that weren't melting or having d!CK head issues. any who, i miss this place a bit so im going to make a build/ history of my bike thread since it really isn't currently happening mods. so hope you guys enjoy.

Edit: this is going to take place of a few posts so that it is seperated into the mods that happend at a given time.

 

Hey guys this is going to be my build thread. i'm going to start it from a couple years ago when everything first started changing on my bike, and progress to where it is today, as well as be updated as new super exciting uber bad *** mods are added!

*EDIT* So this ended up being part build thread part history of my bike. hope you guys enjoy it.

So this isn't my bike per se but 1 that is identicle in stock form


so the first thing i did when i got this sucker was hack as much off of the mud flap as i could. i used a couple of straight brackets, bolts and nuts. easy day.
before


the crap to do it.

the back side, so you can see how it's mounted up.

and the final product

 

The next thing that i did was get rid of the stock grips and levers. i didnt take any before pics of but here is the after. The grips are progrip gel or something like that. the levers are ASV shorty's black w/ red adjusters

 

Next up was painting the stock exhaust shields, i painted them a semi gloss with VHT, It held up really well, even when i melted a back pack to the tail, the paint bubbled a bit but not bad considering.
The parts drying



Mid pipe plastic heat shield

The pieces that go on and around the muffler


I then applied reflective red pro grip rim tape. Sure was a PITA since i did not have a stand at the time, but i think i did a pretty damn good job getting it straight. There is no lowers on because right before i did the rim tape i changed the oil

 

That was it for mods for a while, she then got put away for a 7 month pump.
Me saying good bye.


Her indoor storage home for 7months

 

Allright so fast forward 7 months i come home, change the oil, and take off on a 560 mile ride along the coast of ca from SD to the bay. The first thing i did when i got home was go to thunderhill for a track day.
leaving to the track from the hotel

Just a bad *** sign at the entrance of T Hill

getting ready


after the first session, damn the nats on that track are ridiculous.


My best friend toppingg the bikes up before the 4th session

 

A few days later the parts i ordered came in red Galpher stainless steel brake lines front and rear.
putting on the rear

rear finished

front finished

It sure was a PITA to route the fronts, even re using all of the stock location.
These are how i fastened them to the forks

 

The other thing i got that day was a red Puig race screen
before

After

So i forgot to add this in earlier before i went to the track i swapped out the oem coolant for Super cool w/ water wetter. i don't need anti freeze seeing as i live in so cal.
mmmm old anti freeze


and for the good stuff


All cleaned up after that go around of changes

 

Allright, so i got home and started my big tear down of the bike to get the sub frame, rearsets, passenger pegs powder coated, along with my new exhaust being ceramic coated.
so tear down....


sucker looks pretty odd with out a sub frame or exhaust.


all the plastics hanging out

 

BMC street filter installed


woohoo got all the parts back from the powdercoater! Electrotech powdercoating in san marcos. awesome service, awesome final product.


a demo of what it'll look like
