Most of you guys are just getting started compared to me. LOL. It is fun, and no, I can't take it with me!

Already modded out. My very last cosmetic mod will be the tuxedo black head covers. I am saving up to complete my engine: Fuel Moto 107.

Started these mods after x-mas and finally had a sunny day to take some pics.


Got the Ride Wrights for X-mas. Now are these called "Fat Daddys" or "Fat 50s" or ???


Put them on in early January. The rear was a PITA (getting the wheel off that is)


Front was a piece of cake. Oh yeah, I don't mind the reflectors. They're staying on.

Did ya ever notice that bling adds to bling? You can't just fix up one part of your bike without fixing up the part next to it. Case in point...the rear wheel. This shiny new wheel make by pulley look like crap. Shopped around for a nice chrome pulley, but I was tapped out after laying out the $$$ for these wheels.


Had to settle for this sprocket cover. Almost got one on Ebay but found this brand new one locally on Craigslist for $30.


Once again I tried to take a shortcut but this time I won!


Was able to slip the pully off without removing my wheel!


New pulley installed but it was getting dark so i finished the install today. The only drawback to the installation on the bike was that I wasn't able to get my torque wrench on the bolts. And yes, I did the no-no and reused the old bolts. The next time the wheel is off I'm going to replace with chrome high strength bolts (if these is such a thing) and properly torque them down.


Sunny day today so I thought I'd get some better pics.


Too bad the rotor and pulley cover up most of my shiny new wheel.


Taking the dog bowl off was a great improvement.


Would have loved to put a custom pulley on but the chrome cover is a inexpensive alternate and a vast improvement.


Now if it would just warm up I could play with my toys.

Hope your mods are going good.

I'm not done yet, just out of $$$
