It has been such a long time in the works, I thought I would post a few pics of my Lo getting the Big Radius 2-2 put on, the heel shifter removed, a 4" riser installed and a Kury Mach 2 almost put on. I hope you like it.

You should have gotten the spacer for where the heel shifter was. It moves your toe shifter outwards and makes for much more comfortable shifting. Bike is looking good!

Default Finished Her

I finally finished my stage 1 mods that feels like forever in waiting! I have been planning these simple mods since I was sitting in my little room in Afghanistan just lurking around the Forum. Anyway, here is how my Lo looks now, only thing left is to wait for my new speedo/tach to arrive in the mail and I will be done!

Great job Dave.

How do you like the LePera seat?

Thank you for your service and our freedom!

Thank you for your service Dave ! But........after speedo you'll be done? You're kidding, right? Smoking crack is less addictive and cheaper too.

Hahahaha I know, I keep telling myself NO MORE mods! I just have this feeling inside me that just isn't true however.

To answer the question about my seat, I LOVE it. I love the way it sits me down and back, and I like the way it looks too. I don't know if I would be ok after a 600-700 mile ride but for my riding style, it is perfect.

When you start getting that burning sharp stabbing pain between your shoulder blades and sore elbows you will be wanting some nice Ape's. So you may as well start work towards that. LOL

For me the next mods are going to be dropping off my bike at fuelmoto for a 107 upgrade, New cams and some head work.

Do you still have those gas caps that you painted in the logo portion white? I love those things and want a pair for my bike but I don't have the steady hand to do the painting. I noticed those a long time ago, very well done!

As for the apes, I am trying 4" risers right now to see if that will cure my $1000 ape urge lol

The fuel caps were easy. Believe me my hands shake like a dog crapping razor blades. I used silver nail polish with a cut down brush. Any polish or paint that was out side of the lines cleaned up real easy with the use of paper stick like on a sucker. Dip the end of the stick in some non acetone nail polish remover and it comes right off.
