lol, it seems as though we're having a strong influx of midgets on the posts today!

 

Damn, I could probably use one of those... considering I'm not going to have a speedometer or front bracket anymore

 

why is that?

 

Previous owner didn't take great care of the bike at all. The front fairings were all cracked and pieces missing, the front headlight isn't even stock, it was put on with bondo. The rear fairings are cracked and the plastic nubs that hold them in are nonexsistent. The lisence plate bracket was falling off, so I took it off, custom made my own bracket and put the turn signals in the two plastic light housings next to the brake light (looks a LOT better now actually, homemade fender-eliminator kit, turn signals work better I think). Anyways, the bottom part of the front bracket is snapped off, the top bolt is stripped completely, I have it held down to the frame of the bike using zip-ties so it doesn't wobble as much. So the plan now is get rid of the unsafe bracket and make my own light housing that's connected to the forks. Already got the light, just need to get some more mounting materials and vacuum form a plastic housing for the light (hardest part, must be a real tight fit). Hopefully I can maintain a clean look. But this will mean no more speedo because I am not paying 157 bucks for a replacement bracket. Anyways, I like the naked look a lot more since I took off the front fairings. Got a lot more plans for this bike in the future... and I've only had it for a week.

 

Holy cow! you need to post some pics of that thing!

 

hah, I'll get some up by the end of the week

 

A rider always needs before and after pics.
