Title: Finally took pics of my bike
Post by: TheTussin on December 13, 2009, 05:38:46 PM
Here she is. Took with my phone in a crowded garage so quality and angles are not that great.

Do note the ghetto-rigged turn signals. Yes I stacked a bunch of washers to get it to work. I plan to paint them before spring.

And here's some of the damage it came with, remember I got it for 1400.

Bike looks awesome for $1400! I paid $1500 for my 92 years ago, and it was no where near that clean. I'd get a plastic welder and some finger nail polish for the side fairing and forget about it!

I was considering 'stitching' it up with zip-ties. I've seen it on a few cars and I think it looks neat.

Oh, and thanks :D

Improve acceleration, braking and handling, get rid of the fairing!

I've seen plenty of sportbikes with it too. Browse the stuntlife forum gallery, you should see plenty, but yeah, that does look pretty sweet. I'd consider doing it if I ever bought a busted up bike and planned on keeping the fairings. It looks especially good when the front fairing around the headlight has been completely busted into 3 or so good peices, and the whole thing is stitched back together.
