Cool My Bones, from stock to... Mine! *updated 5/3/09*

I finally got my scoot moved from my cold garage to my nice warm shop at work, and got to start playing with the boxes of mods that had been taking up most of the space in my bedroom

I plan to do all the work myself, and keep this thread updated as much as possible.

First a couple stock shots.

OK, lemme ask an ignorant question, cuz I'm too lazy to check myself. The left gascap on the Bones is your gas gauge like on my Street Bob right? If not, stop here and ignore me. If yes, does the ***** G cap just push in the hole? Whatcha do with the wires? The ***** G eliminates a gas gauge on that side right?

I still have the stock fuel gauge, located on the left side of the tank. There is a replacement gauge that looks identical to the skull fuel cap that uses LED's to indicate fuel level. I'm not going to add that mod though, I don't think LED's have any place on my scoot.

You can see the stock gauge in some of the pics above.

I love the blue... EVERYONE has black.

Hotrods and Harleys, I like working on them almost as much as driving/riding.
