Thanks
the vents very incredibly easy and custom made
bought material from pep boys, cut a section out , pulled off fairing, laid it down on a blanket, started shaping it with a rubber mallet, then scuffed up inside of cowlings, epoxied it like krazy, so far awesome( 3) years.
not sure which dash u r refering to
speedo /tach white gauges or
clock voltmeter setup?
Let me know

Screens are custom, but super easy.
Pep boys has the sheets, I cut in sections, took the cowls off and laid them on a blanket, started shaping with hands(gloves) then went to soft rubber mallet, scuffed up inside of cowl and epoxied like krazy. (3 yrs ago) so far holdong well.
Are you refering to voltmeter/ temp/ clock gauge? or the speedo\tach white gauges?
meter was bought from Cal sport touring 25.00.
white gauges one off custom from Street racer products.

im interested in the brakes, really. they look to be nearly unchanged besides the rotors themselves. is that correct? where did you get that setup? that would change the entire look of the front/rear end.

also, how do you like the progressive/revalved front end versus stock? i was hoping to get that done to mine one day...

Very nice work, I also noticed the clean lines on your main guages. I'm getting ready to add the screens to the louvers on my f3, and the f3-f4i guage swap. Clean mods like yours are what keep the fire in my belly, where changing up my bike is concerned.

I live near 31st and Sheridan, by the way, since you asked. You a Spartan grad? That explains the meticulus attention to detail, I'm guessing. Aircraft mechanics are all about perfection. ;-)

Hi Mad
Yup 1986 grad A& P
with AA in Chicago.
Trying to keep it clean and modify it for interest.
Thanks

Hi Bio
Brake Calipers are Stock,
Now that I've had a few miles on the rotors, what a difference>>>
Springs and valving OMG Also what a difference.
Compare a whale wallowing to a dolphin or tuna. Front end is amazing now..
Compliments from every body that rides...

No, not from Niles. But I did live there for a couple years. Dempster & Washington & we frequented Booby's. I'm actually a northsider from Chicago now living in the Chicago suburb called Phoenix, AZ. I have a buddy who lives across from the cemetery on Milwaukee just north of Booby's.

Great looking bike. What type of clip on's are they? Did you have to make any cable modifications?
