Decided to do some work this winter... which included: installing new blinkers front and rear, new tail-light, new handlebars (bikemaster superbike), and a new ignition...
Old bars (not so hot)

I think.. :O
You were riding around with thoese bars?! Crazy.
Also, Any work is good work. ;) I just need to stop being so lazy and work on mine.
looks good, like the indicators, they're similar to the ones I put on.
The new tail-light lens looks 100% on the old one. :thumb:
good looking bike .. love the jacket and the visor :icon_lol: have the same ones :) my jackets red to ! it just dont say moto-r . buttt . i have mods coming my self soon .. mostly of hacking off the blinkers and replacing them with flush mounts .. should look out standing :)
What blinkers are those? They're really clean looking! I like them a lot, and am looking into getting rid of my 'ol clunkers.
i think most the local bike shops have them .. go to that big one in austin there alpha .. i think you said its off of 183 ... the honda shop here in killeen has a few diffrent sets just like those and diffrent ones .. they have some super small ones to
The blinkers are bikemaster Part # 26-8141... i ordered mine at the dealer out of the 2005 tucker rockey street catalog.. for ummmmm.... $18.95 a pair.... they have the same ones with amber lenses both with black or fake carbon fiber plastic.

you can view them in the tucker rockey catalog here

Mine are on page 674.. picture "C"

They look like LP blinkers. Pretty nice mods,though. Cant wait to finish mine.... O0
+1 on the turn signals... I dunno why they put such long ones on them... With the old ones, it looks like it's trying to give you a hug or something... :dunno_white:
But... Where are your bar ends?
Can you tell me where you got the rear brake light and bulbs?
I also ordered my break light through the tucker rockey catalog at my dealer... it is a clear alternatves made one. You can also get them from www.clearalternatives.com
I've never had bar ends? LOL
- Jordan
Nice project.
Looks like a 90 with different tank graphics.
Man, how'd you bust that bar? I've seen them bent, but never broken like that.
Yup it is a 90'
Well when i bought it last april i noticed it had a relatively large hold sorta like drilled through it right where it broke. I had put all my weight on it and bounced and it held perfectly firm. So i rode all last year with the plan of replacing them. It finally broke when i had left it outside and we had a really bad wind storm, it was on the side stand, and tipped all the way over to the other side, broke my bar right off, and also broke my signal.

btw... do those bars look to wide to you guys?... or is it just me because they aren't as curved?.. im considering scootching everything inward about an inch to two inches, and then getting some push in bar ends... what do you guys think?
- Jordan
i like the look.
wide bars give more leverage ;)
so wider bars increase leverage.. ok i can see that
but what is the downside.. vibration?
