Default Sometimes Small Mods make a huge difference

At least thats the way I feel about the ones I just did. Nostalgia floorboards, brake pedal cover, and shifter pegs (thanks Mark!). I knew I would like them but I was still surprised at how much they brightened up the bike. Going for a quick ride it was so much nicer glancing down and seeing the new stuff! It made the old stock parts look like junk in comparison.

Soon I will have to do something about the passenger boards but for now this is great. The pics are kind of dar because they wer taken inside the garage but you get the idea. As soon as she is cleaned up and the sun comes back outI will take some more.

Thanks for letting me puff up and crow like a proud papa. By the way, the shifter pegs were a PITA to get off and replace. The floorboard had to come off and so did the shift levers. Thats Ok because I wanted to adjust them both down anyway but I damn near stripped the hex head of the bolt securing the heel shift lever trying to get it off. I'm going to replace that one after I get some loctite for all of them.

Looks good. I've been contemplating the Nostalgic look for months now. If I could just make up my mind on a theme and go with it.[&o]

Quick question, where do you have the wires running from the front 02 sensor of the TMax at? Mine run along the right frame rail, whereis yours?

I changed my floorboards as well. I did not change the passenger boards, just put the crome covers on them...makes them look sharp when folded up.

Same here. The wires run right along the inside of the right frame rail. Its looks pretty clean and out of the way there.

Thanks, didn't mean to sidestep the intentions of this thread but I didn't see the connection in your pics and it triggered me to ask.

Nice pics!

I added just the brake pedal to get a taste and I love it. The floorboards are next. I kinda like the shifter pedals too.

Just curious, you said the shifter pegs were hard to remove, jsut take a pair of vice grips and turn them puppies, the stock brake pad comes off with lots of yanking.
