Not really a build like you can do with a Jeep. but modified in certain areas of the bike.

When I got the bike it already had the led lights and the handlebar replaced. later on I rebuilt the exhaust several times, before finally settling on the low-profile exhaust.

like everybody says, talk is cheap, so im putting up pictures. heres is a step by step procedure I did to customize the exhaust, get more horsepower, better mpg, and decent sound.













and the last coat of VHT header paint

i felt like the exhaust is in the way of that beautiful single swingarm... :-\

Great job though!  what paint did you use again? I'm thinking of doing the same thing.
2001 Supersport 900 Yellow!!! (she's just so much fun)
2000 Monster 750 Carb Dark!!! (Sold and still full of regrets)

Curious as to how do you suspend the mufflers. Do you bolt the stock bracket to the passenger footpeg?
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.
