    Default WINTER PROJECTS

    ok, i am still going to ride at least once a week during winter, but now that i have a garage, i can do some things ive been wanting to do.

    who else is gonna spend some downtime this winter making changes to their bike?

    heres my plans.

    have bike painted black
    powdercoat wheels black.
    powdercoat (anodized silver) rearsets and pass pegs-black.
    lower the front another half inch-stiffen front suspension
    maybe lower rear a tad, maybe not.
    rectifier on busa is located in very bottom panel of plastics, im going to relocate to rear blinker housings(lots of unused space there)
    buy a spare seat to mess around with, cut padding out, maybe do a different type of material.
    make a bracket for my toggle switches (speed de-restrictor toggle, and my rear brake light power off toggle)-in case of unwanted company at night.
    super-clean the bike.

    maybe a few more little things, other than paint, all these things are do-it-yourself type things that i like doing.

    heres bike now. mayb come back in a few months and post pictures of things as they get done--

    whats everyone elses ideas for winter?

    Shame on you for ruining perfectly good factory paint casey, unforgivable.

    also if you do black, have you considered just doing black and keeping the gold wheels?

    Keep the bike looking as it is, and get a turbo kit for it.
