Removed bags, windshield, back rest and seat that had a passenger pad for a woman that would be way more than l could handle.

Vance and Hines Hand Grenade air intake. Ceramic coated exhaust heat shields. Leperra seat.



Progressive 412 shocks. Powder coated what I could buy OEM black.

Daymaker headlight with black trim ring. Custom dynamics Led tail light and front turn signals.

160 rear tire




180 Rear Avant Cobra chrome rear tire. Ryd wheels and rear pulley. Lyndal crown cut rotors and pads.

Still a work in progress:

Now I just have to get rid of the skinny *** 1” dia. 14” bars and got to 1.5” dia 16-18” bars. The change the in er primary and pipes where I drug them on the ground like an idiot, upgrade both brake calipers, paint the fins on the motor black, and find all of the black bolts possible.

 

I just realized I did a few more things since the last time I posted on this thread. Top pic is shortly after I bought it. I had already replaced the mufflers and intake. Bottom pics are after the most recent changes: New bars and new seat.

 

Nice work so far. A couple of comments: The lower belt guard does more to protect your belt, and the upper does more to protect the rider or passenger. Lower helps a lot if you have to ride on much gravel. And I personally like the look of the 1" diameter bars more than the 1.25" or 1.5" bars but what do I know? I'm Crazy

Ultimately you need to make it look good to you, not some goofball on the internet.

Kudos.

 

I couldn’t agree more about doing your own thing when it comes to your bike.

I was actually going to post a question about the bottom debris deflector. I didn’t put it back on because l couldn’t get to the front bolt. I was curious about how much it protects the belt since it only covers the outside of it and not underneath the belt itself. I realize how helpful it is when adjusting the tension of the belt bc of the little window with the 1/8” marks. Does it actually protect the belt to the point where it should be put on? Or does it act more or less like a mud flap and keep rocks etc... from being
Throw out the side of the bike.

Thanks for any advice you can give me in advance.

 

The way I see it, the lower one helps prevent rocks from getting in between the belt and pulley. There have been guys here on the forum who've reported getting rocks in there, which have then punched a hole in the belt leading to belt failure, which ends up being a major pain in the ***. I might be wrong about how much that lower guard prevents that, but who knows? There also have been plenty of guys on the forum who run no guards at all and have reported now problems after many thousands of miles.

 

Like Crazy says ... the the Lower Debris Deflector trys to keep stuff from getting in the "Teeth" of the belt. It guards 2 of the 3 sides of access (top and left side)

Btw, my Touring bike has a lower guard for the 3 sides ... creates a Channel for the belt

 

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah. Mine covers the top, side and where the belt rides on the bottom of the pulley. Will definitely put it, or a new one back on the bike. With my luck something will definitely hang up in it and ruin the belt or even worse the $550 pulley that I overpaid for.

 

Love what you did with the bike. What seat is that?

 

Thanks. It’s a LePera. I believe the full length Silhouette but I’m not positive. I would have to try to find the receipt. I love it but I really start to feel it when I do 300 plus rides.

 

looked way better stock.
