Is this a new strain of the modding disease?
I black powdercoated and painted a good number of parts, including the engine covers, rear sets, belt and sprocket covers but now I've stripped just about all of it back to stock.
Had a headwinds headlamp. Now back to the original.
I don't know what it is. Maybe the advent of the next generation monster has me nostalgic already for the first generation's look.
Anyone else done this reverse modding?

Well, I don't plan on going any further. I have to admit I did get the old indicators out to look at them, and laid out the old exhaust system and thought ... no, this really is crazy.
You know when people restore old bikes from 40 or 50 years ago they are usually trying to get them back to looking as original as possible. So in 40 years I guess people will be trying to make stock monsters.

About the same time you're dragging your knees through a series of tight left-right-handers on Sunday afternoon, some guy in white shoes is sweating a 3-foot putt. Go figure.

perhaps you are subconsciously preparing your current bike for market because you want the next gen model

Ha. I'm "reverse modding" my '99 all the way back to 1968.   "Scrambler" paint job. Ventura bars w/ Gran Tourismo grips. Alpina A-system wire wheels. |
