freshened up my bike

thanks fellas. i have a few more small things i'm looking to do but i'm done for most part for a bit. i've been researching making my own turbo setup, so we'll see...

Kudos for doing the work yourself!:beerchug:

What color is that?

the color is a new jeep color, rescue green. i think it looks better on the bike than the jeep though. the curves really show the pearls in the sun.
 
I was wondering that! There is a jeep here locally that color and I always wondered how it would look on a bike.

Great job, and welcome!
 
this just came in. bought off someone on ebay, real nice machining. worth the $55 imo

needed to clearance the back of it slightly for the swingarm but that was expected.

i think i'm gonna redo the gauge cluster next - paint the bezel, new faces & POSSIBLY changing led color, but here's a few goodies.

What a Transformation! She looks Sweet! Welcome to the Mighty Org!
 
That rezzy is from SAE outlaw Performance, a site sponsor here.

I had him machine some off that area for me, as I had the bike so low it would have been a clearance problem. On a stocker, it would have been fine.
 
update:
rear spring was just too mushy w/ the new arm. dave @ trac dynamics suggested a 16.1kg spring. once i got it off & spanners loosened up, i only needed another 1/2" to remove the retainer, this worked like a charm. i wouldnt try it on a car strut, but for the slight compression needed it was all good.
