My new ride

[duke8]

Finished my mods for the time being, thought I'd post some "after" shots for those interested... I think it's an improvement, what'd you all think??

[Jukie]

Looks bloody awesome Duke8

[cicii]

Nice one Damo!

[cicii]

Bring her down to the show!

[Rowdy]

Looks better, definitely.

Where are the indicators and levers?

[duke8]

Thanks guys...

Dom, I'll be bringing the 620 to the show, the rs isn't allowed out untill early December unfortunately... But I'll def be there

Rowdy, I was wondering if anyone would pick that up... .

Levers are in the mail, and I'm still tossing up which indicators to go with ATM, or wether to switch the rear ones I have to the front and get an integrated tail light.

[Jukie]

Ohhh a integrate tail light might get you in trouble with      Just thought I will let you know

[duke8]

Thanks jukie, I thought as much, although there's probably a few other mods ive done which wouldn't be too happy with as well... But I guess anything that attracts less attention is a good thing 

[Jukie]

It has been know that someone has already been caught with this issue by the  and I didn't want you to have to go through it as well. Just looking out for ya

[Two dogs]

Julie is correct
Mr plod does not like them , I have one and have got off with a warning as I left the indicators on and spliced them
into the intergrated loom so they blink at the same time.
The warning was get rid of the intergrated............which I promptly forgot

The mods look great, Duke8. Really classy. I'm particularly keen to know how you did the headlight? - black really toughens-up the front on a black monster - mines the same colour scheme (but an S2r). Also the handlebars - 'clip-ons'? What did you use there? - It's a mod I've always wanted to do but got no idea where to start...where do I find 'em and what am I looking for? - if you don't mind me asking...

Thanks timjim... Headlight was really easy, just removed the ring and bucket, and sent them off to be powdercoated along with a few other parts... I also lowered the headlight and gauges which makes a big difference to the front of the bike. Theres a how to in the tutorials sections if you're keen on that...

As far as clip ons go, there's plenty of options and different brands... You can get riser clip ons which sit higher, or no rise which are alot lower, hence a more aggressive riding posture. Different brands offer different adjustability options etc. mine are apex clip ons with a3inch rise.... Scored those off eBay for about $140. If you check out the sponsor sites like monster parts or motowheels, they have plenty available...

[timjim]

Thanks Duke8! Powdercoating joins the list of to-dos, for sure.

Also, it really helps to know they are Apex clip-ons...at least provides a 'starting point', thanks. Good to see how they look mounted (along with the other mods) - "when you like what you see"  ...I found them on MonsterParts, and now I'll check out the 'other' options, as you mention. Bit of research, rather than "on the list" as yet. I don't think I want to ditch the front fairing, so lowering the instruments and headlight might not work...?
As I ride daily in a semi-rural area and cop shitloads of bugs and stuff, and reckon cleaning the mess out of the instruments would be a pain!
Looking forward to viewing your further updates!
