Sub'd always love to see these tranformations. Reupholstering your seat isn't too hard, I can scrounge up some links if you're going to do it.
Edit: Also, bigger pictures, I can't see anything! |

It's coming along. Interesting build so far.
Just curious here, any reason you went with individual pods instead of a single K&N R-0990 with two holes? I went with the R-0990 because it was reasonably priced on Amazon, and it looks cool imho ![]() exhibit A: |

I knew you had something planned with this bike. Looking good so far.
Are you planning on doing the front end suspension conversion as well? |

Just run the turn signals without resistors. They'll probably just run fast and while its technically against the law no one will say anything or do anything about it.

Just confirming: there are clip-on's on your bike, correct?
And wouldn't leaving the tops of the forks exposed cause problems down the road? |

forks? gsxr600. they r inverted n a cool gold color. but are 50mm up top so dif trees n stuff hav to be used. some researing to do of course is what il hav to do.
got the jet kit in. used the larger jets. adjusted the mixture n it idles n runs now. i threw away the kickstand sensor so it would die aftr trying to drive off. realized becuase it was unplugged. so i jus connected the 2 ends together n ditched the sensor. i jus hav to get the seat done n tuck some wires n its done
