Took a hacksaw to my stock windscreen and made a mini bikini-fairing out of it. I also flipped the handlebars upside down. Gives almost the same look and feel as clip-ons, but doesn't cost a penny.   you only invert the handlebar? really?? |

I had tank clearance issues when I flipped the bars on my '03 trying to do the same thing

flipping it isn't hard...he didn't mention about clearance issue though.  |

Flipping is easy. I cut off the little nubs on the controls so I didn't have to redrill the bars.
I had heard it worked that's why I tried it but maybe it only works on certain models.

I thought about flipping....but wasn't an option because of my fork pre-load adjusters were in the way.

Has anybody ever successfully coated their replacement tank with Caswells? I've got the new tank and the Caswells with zero knowledge of what to do next. Sounds like a dangerous combination.

Relocated my fusebox from under the seat to the battery box. Relocated the regulator and rerouted/rewired looks much more clean.
Nice work! As I was about to go to the next page, I noticed your Oris "Remove before flight" key fob. I use mine for my Ducati key, too! |

I'm a little concerned about what LEO might say... I wasn't until a buddy of mine expressed some concerns and a personal experience of a friend who got a ticket because they had a plate in the cargo area of their car, uncovered. you can't really see this one until you're on top, err bottom, of the bike and it's clearly not a bike plate so I'm hoping it's OK. |

Are those shotgun shells plugging the holes in your frame? I heard of other people using them, and I love the idea, but couldn't find the right gauge to fit! |
