she had backed into her bike when it was parked in the garage of her last house and between that and when it fell over some damage occured.
My stupid ass didn't take any pics of what was all busted up before I started the work on but the list goes like this:
-front left directional mounts to fairing and was smashed through
-back cowling was all cracked up at the top mounting points
so I decided to do a little makeover on the lil bitch. plus some minor other changes.
I fiberglassed and bondoed the damage area after I cut out the bezel for the directional mount, (what was left of it lol), so I could cover up the original mounting holes and then put some flushmounts on and some small led's for running lights.

she had the pair valve up on top so I took that out ,bridged the two breather lines together, and plugged up the hole from that to the airbox.
And then took out the noise reducer/ air restrictor snorkels inside the airbox and cranked open the a/f screws a 1/4 turn each.
She nearly shit. she's like "there's no powerband anymore... It's ALL Powerband Now!!! :eek: :D :D :D "
heheheh
oh yeah, I put on some shortie led's in the rear too. no pics of them yet...
total cost was $80 after all the parts and supplies and the woman being mega happy is Excellent. :D I got paid in full, twice so far hahahaha
:wink: :wink:
