Winter Mods
Finished a few things. First is sanded and polished lowers. They turned out really nice and match up better with the wheels and rotors. A good and inexpensive mod - just some sandpaper and several hours of elbow grease. (Thanks to Auto128 for sharing this one)
Second is making the passenger pillion removable without having to remove the solo seat. I switch often from 1 and 2up. A clever simple mod that will make life a little easier. (Read about this awhile back. Cant remember the guys name)
Third is finished installing some PM Wheels. Found them on CL and they came with a Metz 140 front. Put a 160 Dunlop Roadsmart radial in the rear. This is a true 160, costs a lot less than others and has a deeper tread depth. Will see how many miles it lasts. Much better ride and feel with 18" wheels and the radial on the back.
Next mod - apes!!!
