shipped off the fork bits to Eric at Clubhouse Motorsports for some new internals.

Nate (DucPainter) is refreshing my plastics.  Now if I can put all the pieces back in the right places! [cheeky]

Sweet.   [thumbsup]

Damn!  More mod ideas.  [bang]

Can't wait to see the pics when all that gets mounted.  It may have been done but I don't recall seeing it.  So if there's no pix, it didn't happen.  ;D

Hard coat ano

$75 for everything

It was a pregnant dog to find someone to do it... most companies want to deal with commercial volumes.

Charlief,
If I'm not mistaken I think I see grills off a set of Hella Supertone Horns in that first pic.  I just ordered a set of those myself.  How did you mount them?  Any issues I may run into?
TIA

you are correct on the horns. I have a twin headlight setup. I have one horn in the stock location and the other directly under the headlights.  Mounted it right above the lower triple.

As far as wiring I used the stock pos and neg wiring with a relay. The pos wire is the trigger for the relay. The power was wired directly to the battery ( with a fuse)
