Default A Chilly Afternoon's Project.

Well, I installed my new rotors, brake pads, air valve, seals and tire on the front of my bike. I also installed some rim tape, cut the tail, installed frame sliders, blacked out the windshield, removed the passenger pegs, installed exhaust hanger, installed swing arm spools, and installed radar bracket on my GF's bike.

Nice, looks great. Amazing what a difference a couple minor tweaks can make toward cleanin up the look of the bike.

Where did you get the exhaust bracket from?

Next step is to powdercoat the rearsets black, and install black or red Pazzo shorties.

Yep! I used to always do that... I'm not sure why I got away from it...

Yeh, it was too chilly to fully test the new rotors with the new Carbon Lorraine SBK pads but I'm expecting good things!

EBay for $30.

She wants that stuff to be PINK like the rim tape and the graphics. The new Leo Vince carbon fiber exhaust is due in tomorrow and other than the graphics kit I'm waiting for from Tape Works, the seat cover, H.I.D. head lights and the axle sliders, this bike is done!

Yea, even with the exhaust and graphics (on the way), we're still well under $500 for mods on this bitch.

Eh.......I'm thinking pink rearsets would be rather horrid. Just add some pink stickers of some sort, and that's all the pink it should get.
