Im sure there are people who just want oodles of pictures. But i holding out on u guys on purpose. Itll be better when i do a full write up.
anyway... theres only 6 items left to do.
1) relocate teh starter relay and make a longer starter cable to reach.
2) Splice the oil temp sensor wire.
3) Change the valve cover and install the oil cooler
4) install the 848EVO pickup sensor once it arrives
5) Install acoustic foam on airbox cover.
6) reconnect the alternator wire to the rectifyer.
7) rebuild the HID wiring harness
Install these FIAM dual tone horns
Somethings that will need to be done soon
1) replace teh left tach lens since i cracked it somehow.
2) install an auxillary fog light
3) make a proper airbox.
4) get right angle boots for the spark plug wires.
This is teh cut airbox. there slots in it because i used to run the wires under the cover for the ballast. I didnt have a hot knife and my buzz saw blew up, so i had to use a metal cutting disc to do this, hence the dirty cuts. Its only there to get the tune, there is defintely more open urface area than just a cut top, though it doesnt matter since the whole filter is expoed already. There will be acoustic foam on the underside of the metal plate (shown later). Im going to weld up an aluminum bracket later since i hate how ghetto this looks, or maybe even do a fiberglass mold. this thing weighs a ton.
also had to make a rear plate, because the old one was ugly.
Yes the fasteners are rusty and whatever. i dont care. i just want to ride. :'(
its almost done. It took me 3 hours to route those wires so nothing is going to be ziptied to the frame. and most of the wires are hidden. You can see the ballast sitting on top of its new home. I driled 2 holes and im jsut going to ziptie the ballast.
oh and i have some tapered bearings on that sucker. the install was a pregnant dog for the lower bearing since i didnt have a proper install tool.
