Thanks alot!! Im seriously still smiling at the difference in handling, what a change. Much more nimbler if that makes sense. This thread has been a great guide.

 

No doubt. Suspension was one of my last major mods. It made me wonder why I didn't do it first. I got all the good advice from this thread and the Traxxion thread. In fact, I even bought my Ohlins from Squidhead. Every time I ride, I feel guilty as if I stole them from him!

 

I got a new fairing and decided to see how close I could get it color matched with some aluminum Plasti Dip. I think I turned out pretty well, actually. Eventually I might get it painted by a legit painter, but for now it's pretty good.

 

I think it looks very good now!

It's your baby though...

 

I will say this though after getting my fairing painted I saw yours and was like sh#$ why didnt I see that before lol. Was close to buying it anyway .

 

Turned out good I like the paint!. And yea the suspension upgrades are the biggest wow factor IMO

Looks good man who's fairing is that? Is the shield molded in place?

 

It's one of the cheaper Conley's repops. I found the fairing, bracket, and mounting clamps new on eBay for $199 + free shipping direct from Conley's. I heard they weren't nearly as nice as the JD's, but it was a third the price and it's actually really nice for the price! And yeah, the shield and fairing is all one piece of molded fiberglass.

 

Pretty much have my bike ready for summer, almost all my mods are done for this season...

Before:



Current state:





First tank of fuel!



The motor was built way too high compression for the street so it had a complete overhaul this winter. It's now a 95" with flat top pistons, shaved/decked/ported heads, 10.5:1 comp, high lift springs, oversized intake valves, feuling lifters, SE adj rods, s&s 585 gear drive easy start cams, s&s stealth intake and bassani 1d5250b exhaust.

I'm still breaking it in, so it'll be interesting to see how it runs when I can throw some timing at it and dial in the carb.

Other than the motor I powdercoated the wheels, blacked out the headlight bezel, 5000k 35watt HID headlight, custom dynamics run/brake/turn tail light, laydown license plate, black braided s/s brake lines, pirelli night dragon 110/90/90 front and 150/90/16 rear, lyndall Zplus pads, burly ezpull clutch, nightrod bars narrowed 1.5" and hd contrast levers.

Only thing I'd like to do this year is completely black out the fork legs and throw some gaitors on there... and ride the **** out of it.

 

That is one nice bike... So jealous of you tsport guys. Well done man it'll look even better with that black front end too

 

No kidding. Great looking bike, simple yet all the right mods.
