after that i should be done for awhile! who believes me?!?!

here's your next mod: there's a silver sticker on the rear subframe above the shock on the left side... you'll know what to do after you read it (and wonder why they wasted a couple cents putting it there in the first place). so what if you can only see it while the seat is offâ€"think of the weight savings!

What exactly is this vinyl fork cover?  Interested in doing mine black but need more info on how.  Any info is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

[mrplease]

all it is, is vinyl sheets, or in my case a vinyl roll. and you just wrap your forks with it.

Does anyone use the search function anymore?   

There's a how to thread on wrapping your forks in vinyl.

Thread Jacker!!  I just did a search for "search function" and got three pages of relevent info, so I suggest you try searching before you come around here wasting our time with your lazy questions!!!

I pledge to use this high tech feature "search".  Sorry guys. 

Found a nice write-up in the tutorials section.

mailman, ups & fed ex came yesterday! brought my bars, oil cap, chain, & master cylinder clamps.

still waiting on my dp 47T rear sprocket & my pipes to get done. i also pulled my top triple off to get powder coated while i'm waiting...

suburban machinery M3 bars


EK Quadra-X Ring 520MVXZ Chain - black/sliver (they stopped making this color combo & oly make black/gold, so i had to do some searching to come up with this one!)


rizoma oil cap


brembo master cylinder clamps (there are two, but i only took a pic of one...)

[mrplease]

top triple off to get powdercoated black, suburban bars on.

hopefully i'll have everything back by friday and i'll put the bike back together saturday. next pics i'll post will be of the bike put together.

EK Quadra-X Ring 530 MVXZ Chain - black/sliver (they stopped making this color combo & oly make black/gold, so i had to do some searching to come up with this one!)

I was thinking about either a black (with silver rollers) EK chain to go on a silver rear sprocket.... or a red EK chain on  black rear sprocket.... Guess the choice will be easy now. 

BTW I'm hoping that's a typo and you actually mean 520 pitch rather than 530 pitch for that chain.

[mrplease]

yup. typo, i meant 520

a couple pics of some of my new mods installed. i know they're shitty pics in the garage, but its raining out. better pics tomorrow...

ceramic coated exhaust (semi gloss black)
powder coated top triple black
vinyl wrapped the forks black
brembo master cylinder clamps w/o mirror mounts
suburban machinery bars (i'll take better pics tomorrow so you can see the positioning better, but they are much more aggressive than stock, and i'm very happy with them!)

How is the comfort with the new bars?  I am curious to get some opinions on them cause they look awesome.  I think you will find new things to do to your bike for years to come.  The bike looks awesome by the way!

Ceramic coating, black top-triple and vinyl wrap all looks fantastic together - really works as a theme, great job 

I love too how the upward swoop of the black exhaust and the line of the black foot-peg hanger compliment each other in line as well as finish.
