Chop, Cut, Rebuild (NO 56k) UPDATED
Well, 3 weeks ago I wrecked my bike.
Not gonna get into details except for I was being stupid off the main road by my friends house. Luckily i had all my gear on and came away with a scrape on my knee (no knee protection, my next investment) and a broken thumb (im guessing my thumb jammed into the road when i was rolling).
Had my ICON helmet, boots, jacket, and gloves on.
Jacket came out with 2 holes but not a scratch on me.
Boots had a couple scuffs, but still holding strong.
Helmet never touched the ground.
Gloves held together perfectly, i didnt see a scrape on them.
Anyways onto the bike and the rebuild.
Heres what it started out as:
Most of you probably saw my thread "Post up ur flat black/stealth bikes" thread. Well, thats my plan and goal for this bike once its fixed.
Heres my motivation:
Parts that have been ordered:
- New Handle Bars
- NEW Stator Cover w/ Gasket
- Red Reflective Rim Tape
- NEW Flush mounts
- NEW Integrated Taillight w/ Blinker (get rid of those hideous factory ones)
- NEW Stomp Grip
- NEW Progrip Clear Tank Pad
- NEW Front and Rear Stands
- NEW Motorcycle Cover
Still Needing:
- NEW Upper Fairing
- NEW Windscreen
- NEW Mirrors
HERES THE PROGRESS:
The Bike laying in pieces
The Right Busted up fairing:
Broken Handle Bar
Busted Stator Cover
Working on patching up the Rear Fairing
Working on patching up a dent in the tank
Getting the Front Fender painted
WILL UPDATE WHEN PARTS COME IN AND I GET MORE PARTS COMPLETED!
