Default Winter Mods almost complete.
Almost done, but wanted to give you all a quick look at some mods in progress.





Not all finished yet. Have to rip out oil tank for a makeover, finish installing rear fender with freshly done struts, finish painting a few nuts, bolts, and washers to complete the transformation.......more to follow.....

Gonna be one nasty ride, dude! It would look even nastier if you pull those covers off the primary, tho. JMO, but the covers pussify and cheapen it. If you're gonna install an open primary, strip it down to give it that look of raw, gritty power it's sposed to have.

Great minds think alike bud! I only installed them for the pix. I already painted the clutch hub and just have to shoot the front pulley to match.
