Townsend, I am also in Florida. Tampa area to be specific. I share your pain! This summer has been so miserable! I have only been riding a handful of times :( The good thing about Florida is, riding weather never ends!!!! I am going to clean op the headers and removed those tacky reflectors...

Puttin, here are the only pictures I have on hand. These pictures are before legitimately mounting and signal mounts. The light is a Polisport Halo. It's actually a DOT approved supermoto headlight. The night time visibility is surprisingly good. I will take some new/updated photos tomorrow...

Raja, There is wiring attached, however, the "connector" piece that plugs in has been cut off. You will have to strip the wire and crimp on a connector.

Major, I love this bike. I love how "industrial" they look. You can see the bike's components and I love it. It looks like a machine rather than a plastic toy. I hate when street bikes get too cluttered with plastic and flashy parts. My bike originally had the silver swinger and rims, however...

TownSends, the rear is painted lettering. I didn't know if people painted both tires or not. I see a lot with just the rear painted. I do have bar end mirrors (not in the pic). Awesome suggestion in regard to the reflector. I actually thought about getting a decal reflector (silver) to replace...

Well, I finished the transformation. However, it's only been a week and I'm itching for something to do. Do you guys have any suggestions -- other than pipes? Minor stuff that looks good or improves performance?

OEM PARTS FOR SALE!!!! I have a few items remaining. The lever and hugger price INCLUDES shipping cost. The swinger will depend on your location. Levers: $21 Rear Hugger: $35 Swing arm (adjusters are included but not in the picture): $15 I do have axles for the swinger. If necessary, we can...

I finally finished her!

I would be interested at a better price.

I just put the 04' hugger on the new swinger and it looks like it should bolt right up. I don't have the hardware so I couldn't actually bolt it down but it looks like everything should line up perfectly. FYI I took the hugger off before the swap. It had nothing to do with the new swing arm.

I don't have a rear hugger, however, others have said that it should swap over as well. Other than that, you are exactly right. Main pivot, shock, and brakes all switch over without issue. You just need the axle and adjusters. I actually have the rear hugger laying around. Check back later and I...

You don't need much for the swap. You will need an 07' swinger and you will also need an 07' rear axle & hardware. There are several other Yamaha bikes that have compatible axles. In fact, my rear axle came from an 07' R6S. This is the part number: 5SL-25381-10-00. Make sure that you get the...

Re: Rear caliper/brake issue AFTER SWING ARM SWAP The swap was actually better than anticipated -- other than the caliper issue. I LOVE the way it looks on the bike! In addition, it was relatively easy to do. Nothing about the swap is physically difficult. There are a ton of "little" things so...

I just finished up my naked conversion. I am still waiting on the headlight but I was too excited not to share! [/IMG]

Okay, I am going to pick some up this afternoon. Thanks for all the advice. I will keep the thread updated. Thanks again! :thumbup:

I gave the covers/bolts a good cleaning and greasing. The bracket is sitting in there properly. I have already ordered a new bracket/caliper, however, I am going to continue messing with this until it arrives -- it's my daily driver. What grease do you recommend? I am using off-brand stuff...

Thanks for the replies! After coming home and inspecting further, I believe one of the caliper bolts are slight cross threaded I am assuming this is the reason for the brake offset. I am going to order a new caliper/bracket just to be sure. I will let you guys know if the problem is solved...

Thanks for the reply! The seals and pin look great, however, slapping some grease on the back of the pad is a great idea. I completely forgot about that trick. I am going to give that a go. Also, I know it's not the chain dragding. When I remove the caliper, I get more than 1 spin. I can see the...

There's really not any need for extreme prep work other than cleaning whatever it is that you choose to paint. The plastidip peels right off if you want it to. There are plenty of videos on Youtube showing this. As far as plastidip going on hot parts, I've never seen it done. I wonder if it...
