So as some of you may know i tore my ACL and meniscus and lost too much cartilage to where i cant play anymore college ball. I have been having so much free time and been pretty depressed till my friends started dragging me out and i am not back in it haha. I've had so much free time after my studies that i wanted to work on a lot of things that needed to be done on my bike.
Things i've done in the last month which include maintenance and some custom projects: -New rear tire -Full synthetic Oil change -Air filter change -Sparkplug change -New SS Lines (the previous blue ones were defective so i replaced them with these silver ones) -New front and back brake pads (EBC) - New synthetic brake oil -Custom rear fairing trimmed, painted, and fit on to replace crappy seat-less rear i had. -New Motodynamic Smoked Sequential LED Tail Light/integrated signal. Video link : MotoDynamic -Swingarm license plate bracket. I have a separate thread for the rear tail if anyone is interested! Here it is : Tail project.

Now for the project i was working on in the earlier posts. I got some progress and just waiting one one thing to come in tomorrow that my friend is lending me again (used on my rear race fairing), a pencil saw, to shave off what the previous owner broke (the brackets where i would have screwed in the front cowl on top of the headlight, in my previous post where i started working on it you will see a pic of it broken off (post #120) ). So once i shave that piece off i will install these new aluminium brackets to attach the piece i made.
As you can see from the previous post (post #120), i already cut the front cowl, all i needed to do was get the windshield (and windshield bolts) in and cut it and paint the fairing piece i made. Once i did that i attached them together and bought the bracket. So all that's left is to just trim what left of the stick bracket on top of the headlight that he broke off and screw the new aluminum ones i attached to my custom piece i made into the headlight with 2 self tapping screws. I did the with my vapor speedometer mount and it is super secure and never shakes (with the self tapping screws) I slipped it on the bike to get an idea of how it would look, and i like it so far. This is the prototype and hopefully ill get it on tomorrow.

Painted some pieces and mounted the front piece on! I decided to go without the windshield piece attached to the custom fairing i cut because with it on it looked to bulky and just too much for its sort of naked look. So i went without the windshield and i think it looks much better! Also painted the sides of the radiator with radiator paint and the radiator "monster" cover i had on there as well. All i need to do is get some fork boots to get it all black there!
You can see where i used the pencil saw i was waiting for to trim this piece off. See how the bracket is gone on the left side and the right side still has it? After that i could easily mount the new brackets i got (titanium ones). I have the windshield by its self in my room, if i ever change my mind i can always just snap it on, i got the hard part out of the way when i put the new brackets on there for the plastic custom fairing. Its just a matter of attaching the windshield to the two small blue screws (which show in the next post pic if you press on it, the one showing the front of the bike) in the pic to attack the windscreen i cut.
