Welcome!

Your bike looks good, but I can only see the last picture in your post for some reason.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Looks good, the katana shock is super sweet, but I would advise against the PP Race tires,  DOT approved race tire suck on the streets, they never get hot enough to get good grip. Stick to street tires and you will be much happier

Very pretty looking vehicle. :thumb:
Even though I'm not a fan of faired GS's (rather the opposite as well), I love the colour scheme, the tiny turn signals, and the fenderectomized tail looks very very clean and neat. :thumb:
Cutting it short, good job man. :thumb:

lilbill

Great looking, and running I'm sure!!

Welcome :thumb:

BTW, how do you like those NGK iridium plugs?

waiho

actually, I replaced the lens with a clear one, then changed the buld with one that is composed of 20-30 led's (can;t remember how much)

then I put in module that makes the blinking separatly on each side>>> left and righ buld ( you might notice that one buld is brighter on the right side, when turn signal is on).

I later found out it was not noticable unless you look directly at it, so I added licence plate turn signal!



about the plugs, it's hard to say, cause I did the jardine, rejet, lunchbox and plugs all at the same time. I was stunned by the power it gave to it.

now anywhere I go, I get looks and good comment about the sound of the jardine!

Did you have to cut holes in your fairings to put those frame sliders on?

Sweet looking bike. Bravo!
All we are is the sum of our experiences.

waiho

yup, must make a tiny hole in the fairing, about the size of a quarter!

I was hesitant at first, but it adds a certain look at it that I like alot!

but think about it, would you rather have a well cut hole hidden with a frame slider, or a big cracked or scratched fairing! just my opinion!  :icon_mrgreen:

Very true. so they bolt to the frame, or are these a weld on type? Ive been thinking I should get some, being a new rider with a new bike and all....

there is a replacement engine bar that need to be replaced, but it's very easy. Did it in 5 mins, and I know nothing or almost about mecanic. From there, you need to make the holes in the fairing, then just screw your frame sliders to the new bar!

here's the link from where I got it!

Some idiot driver once make it fall over while parking and left it there like that on the floor! I only got a minor bar end Protectors scratch, and frame slider slightly scratched too. But my bike was intact, god I was happy I had those on!

salut waiho from over here in Ontario.

nice bike indeed - I like how clean everything looks.  don't forget to mention the progrip 719's since you were listing the details.


ssinema, when ordering make sure to specify faired or naked version.  I'm not sure if there is actually a difference, but if I remember right when ordering mine, there were 2 different part numbers (mine are on a naked bike). 

waiho

dude!! your awsome, I didn't even realize I put those on till you reminded me!    :laugh:  you have a good eye

for some reason, I don'even see them anymore!
