Default Winter maintenance and mods

Well it started with just changing out my coil, replacing my shocks and next thing I know both wheels are off, shocks are out, steering stabilizer is mocked up, coil is changed out and tag bracket has been removed. Tomorrow is another day and gonna get back tearing her up when I get home.

Mods to come:
New tank (villain style modded to fit)
Round oil bag (powdered blk) with stainless lines
Stainless spokes/nipples with wheel and hub powdered blk
Re-powder my trees after drilling and tapping for the stabilizer
Make new tag bracket (powdered blk)
Make new exhaust 2-1 (ceramic coated blk)
Making some bars (powdered blk)
New progressive shocks with RAP
98" kit ???
Open belt drive????
Chain conversion????
And whatever else I feel like doing and can afford lol

Another night and she's getting to be really naked lol. Oil bag, tank off, test fitted the new tank and bag. Have a couple issues with the new tank and I have to stare at it for a bit. Petcock issue and crossover lines both are close to the head but might be able to sneak by. Have to make some mounts for the front of the tank and I might use inks idea about mounting the rear.

Yea so far it is. You just have to change the oil lines over.

Tomorrow I'll be throwing the new progressive suspension with RAP into the rear. Was going to install the shotgun shock but since my coil is mounted behind the splash guard the compressor doesn't have enough clearance. Luckily I was able to return it.

All I did was keep looking on eBay lol. I could only find ones in chrome but that's nothing some powder can't take care of.
