kewl ideas kinda what im doing

 

just came in from the garage
tank preped ready for primer
1 side panel in primer

homemade integrated tail light............................ easier said then done

back at it sunday will get pics up shortly

 

heres the tank with most of its prep work complete gonna be some more to do, the amount of stone chips was INSANE!




FJ 1200 master installed with roughed in stainless lines love how factory it looks.





heres a picture of the RS control after they were shaved down to make room for the FJ master




obviously i need to do some clean up and paint on the master and controls to make them truly look factory but i wanted to have it roughed in so i could make sure my SS lines were the right length. THEY'RE PERFECT!

enjoy more to come

 

cool. love the pictures. cant wait to see more

 

Back at it tonight will post pics, this bike better please me when it's done because god know the wifes not impressed lol

 

well got a bit more work done got my shocks in today after almost 3 weeks to recieve them. so i had to put them on they fit great but none of the bushings it came with fit so i had to press the bushings out of the old shocks and re use them. also had to trim a small piece of a bracket so it didn't hit the "piggy back" nitrogen tank






hopefully they perform as good as they look

also pulled the calipers for cleaning so i can prep and paint. The signals came in for the front and the flushmounts im using for the rear are here aswell but forgot to take pics will get them next time.

enjoy

 

Found out a number of years ago, please yourself. The best I ever got from the wife was a half-hearted "yea, that looks nice" . Unless, of course, it was one of her projects like rebuilding the patio, building a new mantle for the fireplace, re-tilling the bathrooms or any number of other "little" things :? ...

those are the same shocks I have siting in my dorm... I'm glad they fit

 

did some more work last night forgot about pictures

if you look at my pictures you know how bad the engine covers were on my bike and i EREALLy didn't want to pull all the covers off the engine.

so i've tried scrubbing and cleaning and every solvent i could get my hands on but all of them were wither way too much work or didn't work at all.

Until i found the scuff ball and WD40 holy crap 5 mins a cover to remove all the oxidization and the pitting, seriously this was the miracle i was looking for lol

i'll be sure to take pics to show the difference next time for sure

THIS IS THE SCUFF BALL

 

got a little more done cutom wireing harness for headlight is pretty much done and dominator headlight and led front signals are mounted.

enjoy, pay no attention to my mess of wiring and such hanging around

itching to get her out for a ride

 

Let us know how those Dominator headlights work for you. I'm thinking about getting a pair for my ride.

 

there freakin' bright that's for sure lol

 

just a little update after tonight these will give you an idea of what the rear looks after fender chop and flushmount turn signals mounted






and heres my rought mounting of the flyscreen and headlights all together brackets are behind it and mounted on the mounting bolts of the atari





thats it for now

 

One of a kind. Looks like your on your way to an interesting ride for sure.
You'll get alot of, "What kind of bike it that" when your out and about. I get that all the time.

 

did you just get rid of that plastic sub fender?

and i really like where you're going

 

yea i just cut all the plastin inner fender and welded flat bar and the original plate bracket to the steal inner fender. i'll take pictures of the bracket itself next time to show what i did

 

Are you going to change the bars? Because upright with those lights looks a bit awkward.

clip-ons or even drag bars would really set that thing off!

 

the bars right now are a euro bend that i like but i will see what its like when all back together



more pics

fly screen all mounted and done



here's the rear plate mount as requested



heres all the buffing and shit done



all paint complete next weekend

 

all paint is done and decals printed assembly will be on saturday will get pics of it all together for ya's, im itching to get back out on the road

pics of the re created decals they are gold just cant tell until they are on the bike

 

all done these pictures will have to do until i can get good ones

 

little better pic of the bike but i really gotta source a real camera lol

 

looks sharp

 

Well i'm bored so i will provide an update on what i think of all this after a full season of riding like this.

1) front brake upgrade best thing i ever did
2) dominator lights amazing low beam or high i can see everything
3) front signals work great very visable
4) rear signals are crap i do a lot of hand signals
5) bar end mirrors are great i love them took awhile to get used to them so close to my hands.

still haven't found a place i want to re mount my horn lol

ebay shocks not bad but need better springs in the front to match


Overall for the 1600 i have into this bike that's including original purchase, I love it i get more comments and gawkers at bike meets then my friends and there ninja's and gsxr's, and i still love the reliability of this bike it has never left me anywhere, and i still lead the pack of riders in the twisties with the oldest bike.


can't wait till all this snow mealts to get back at it, need new rubber this year any recommendations?

 

Love the look! what bar end mirrors did you use? How well do they work?

 

the mirrors are ebay all steal good construction but they don't stay in place the best i'm re adjusting often in seems.

they also somehow cause this magnifying effect, like i'm riding along thinking some one is riding my ass so close he's gettin high off my fumes, to then look back and find him a good 30-40 feet behind me
