Well, today was supposta be a horrible rainy cloudy, windy, stormy day, instead i looked out my window about 10am to notice a nice pretty sun saying... "come mod with me"
well, i cant argue with that. Grabbed the tools, bike keys and a buddy and started off, 11am... let it begin, installed the TB Juice box faster than you read this post so far. i was blown away at how easy it was... if you know how to lift the tank, you can do this mod. (that and have an extra $225 laying around).
Then it was off to the air box. i had previously opened up a little to allow more airflow, this time i was like F it, im opening it up all the way. well, i think i was a little tooooo gung-ho because my dremmel slipped a good bit and i took a nice chunk out in the wrong place!
guess ill have to find a new one and buy it to try again... oh well
it looks pretty choppy but after cleaning it up with some scotch brite it came out pretty good (minus the dremmel wound) god that hurts, but, everybike has a tale i guess.
then that was done and it was off to the duel headlight mod.. this, ill have to say was a sh!t load easier than i thought it would be. it took alot of work to do... but not so much for the mod. As in the mod itself was a piece of cake, its taking out the airbox, taking off the front fairing, taking out the battery.. blah blah blah. that was the pain... pretty easy though....
so, she is done... started at 11, finished up all 3 mods around 330.. not too bad, just in time for the rain, sky was getting dark as we were cleaning up, and as i was putting my tools inside it down poured... i mean buckets... 3 min earlier the bikes internals would have been soaked... so i lucked out big time there.
the results!
i have no clue, it rained the rest of the night and i have not gotten to do sh!t yet... gay. i did crank it on, headlights work perfect, air box sounds amazing, and from what i can tell the juice box does its job...
Things i have learned:
1: If you lean your tank back toooo far there is a little tab that gets bent (right where the seat clips in) if that gets bent, your seat will be a pain to get in, and you will waist about 30 min trying to figure out why.
2: Dont get carried away with the dremmel, it can be your friend one minute and bite you the next. (punching a whole with the ... "routing" bit of it works best, then just work it around the area)
3: bribe friends to help you.
4: listen to weather reports, just because the sky is nice, doesnt mean it will be in 8 minutes
