This is my first bike. Bought it 2nd hand, 2007 model with 60,000Km on the counter. It was damaged and dirty. After 2 months, with a lot of help from people from this forum and friends - this is the result.
Have spent hours and hours on it (and some $). Really happy with it now. Been doing a few hundred KMs and it is a blast.
Things I have replaced or added or repaired:
- Replaced the damaged sliders.
- Replaced the badly scratched crankshaft cover.
- Replaced the damaged fairings with the VS-2 kit.
- Painted the VS-2 kit with matt black paint.
- Added a projector to the headlight for proper HID lights.
- Added new Mirrors.
- Replaced tail lights for LED.
- LED positioning light on the headlight.
- Painted the exhaust black. Was impossible to make them shine again.
- Replaced radiator fan that got killed by a rock.
- Romatech Radiator guard.
- Painted rear set.
- Added a triboseat cover.
- Re-aligned the front wheel with handle bar.
- Replaced the oil for the brakes.
- Replaced the liquid coolant.
- Cleaned the front sprocket of all the filth.
- Added an alarm.
- Last but not least replaced the tank pad sticker
I think that covers it. The in-between stuff that I didn't keep and the cleaning do not count. Added a few pics of before just for the fun of it.
Just some fine tuning to do and I am done. Do not give me new ideas please, I need to catch up on my life and my bank account (Ok maybe a few if they are really good
).
Again thanks to all. I never did any sort of work on a vehicle before. Learned a lot from here, and had to buy a bunch of tools and products. Not gonna name members, but I have had tremendous help here. :thumbup: Thanks!
