Rectifier relocated with a piece of scrap metal after removing the crankcase overflow tank & adding a K&N

Made my own fork spring compressing tool. Found a scrap piece of pipe at work, cut off a slice with my chop saw, drilled two holes in the drill press, tapped the appropriate threads, and then painted it. Turned out great!

So I was one who I don't like having to wear a backpack to carry anything but as known with the S2R there are few saddlebags available for it.  Once I discovered that the Ducati one has been discontinued and near impossible to find, I worked to find a way to fashion a saddle bag onto it myself.  Here are some pictures of it.



I fashioned one side of the mount using the passenger peg and then ran paracord from the bottom of the passenger peg to the frame to create another cross mount.  The bags main strap attaches in a similar fashion to the Ducati one, then the buckles attach to the passenger peg and the paracord that travels across the back of the bag.  This creates a pretty strong mount for it, the bag doesn't really move while riding and there are no real collision points.  If anyone is interested I'll pull the seat and bag off and get more detailed pictures of how I did the mount itself.

I made a fiberglass cafe racer rear seat cowl. I couldn't find what I wanted so this is what I came up with. I used the original seat cowl in the mold. It slides in and bolts right on using the stock bolts.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.
