Oh **** this forum, why the **** did the dude post it asking for opinions if HE didnt want them, I dont care what you do with it just giving you my opinion based on my experience with dumping a ****load of cash into something thinking" They'll love what I did to it", no they wont! and you WONT...
NIce bike man. Sadly, you'll not get back what you put into it. (If its your aim to make some cash) spend a few bucks on replacing whatever was not stock. If your looking to have a one-off custom thats all your own than let the dough fly.
There are a few exceptions to making old customs turn...
Yeah bubba, congrats on the bike.
Spend some time with the search function, you'll find all the answers are there already. But, being a tolerant person I'll reveal my thoughts.
Just drill out the baffles on your stock exhaust, ANY NEW after market exhaust is going to cost you $700-$1000...
I dont believe they ever came black, "use the search function" will be a common response to your quiery.
Choose a style you like and buy them, I have purchased black drag bars on the ebay for $12.00 for use on other bikes.
Or, buy and paint/powdercoat them.
If it was an MV Agusta I'd say "Hell Yeah" otherwise I'm not sure as I don't know what bike your talking about.
Sorry for the sarcasm, but really what bike is your "second"?
Steve, Im behind you %100 in your build, IMHO I think the fz frame is a tad heavy for practical purposes, again thats just my opinion.
I'm in the middle of Gary Vogels, "How to build an electric motorcycle", and am interested in all forms of input. The biggest challenge seems in squaring up...
Bummer ay, that is exactally what happened to me some 20 years ago. It will definitley change your riding style, making you more of an offensive cyclist.
I find myself in similar situations daily and wil NEVER again trust that they see me, when this situation arises I get off the throttle...
March 12, this will be a first for me and Im excited.
Would be a good chance to meet some of the yocals of the forum, I'll be in the infield wearing my Yamaha duds!~!
See you there?
I work with someone who has something to prove, constantly. Strange thing is that they prove their worth in negativity.
I have the right mind to choke the living **** outta this person, but the intellect to let them find the door.
Ignorance is bliss? I don't know.
Kinda cool IMHO, if they could make it spin once and a while...a'la ZZTop, Id run those on all things 2 wheeled!
P.S.
Just start ripping the fairing off, you'll figure it out when you need too.
No fear, those were the days.
Give the guy alotta credit though, so much for stock mirros hampering lane-splits.....
Wheelies into back seat of Hyundai....
"I got it on video though."
Thanks man, if the bars are straight , its only off a touch, I can live with that.
I'd just have to shorten the speedo mount, since I PC'd that already Im in no hurry.
Gonna replace the bearings soon and hit the triple with the ole black magic, if it bothers me enough I'll make the...
Woo Hoo bump!
I've been chipping away at her, thanks again Erci for the wiring thread and speedo-cover, they both worked out tits!
I feel like a 5 year old again with a thick black magic marker, coloring every one of my Tonka's and MatchBoxes.
I used a powder from Caswell, "Black Magic"...
