Default Winter mods done (again)

Part trois. Finally got my bags and side covers painted to match the rest of the bike. I also deep-sixed the ABS pump, which got me back half of my right saddlebag. I scored a good deal on some take off Brembo calipers complete with brake lines, so I went ahead and swapped the old front calipers out.

This winter/spring project went in three phases. First, I swapped out the tins for a set of RK classic tins I snagged off ebay. I had the fuel tank changed from blue/silver to blue/black and also had my Dragonfly fairing painted to match the tins. Next I ditched my fuelpak for a PC-V with autotune and swapped in a set of SE 204 cams along with SE high ratio rockers. Finally the third phase was to get the bags painted and brakes updated.

Bike's pretty well ready for summer now, (if only summer would show up)

I like the look of the bike without fairing or windshield


Here's how it looks with the fairing on




a little different from last summer's look

Looks good. I like the '56 in the backround.

I would say there is a big difference. Nice improvement.
