Re side casing, you referring to the crankcase covers? If so there's usually some on ebay as spare parts, and sometimes you'll find someone breaking an old bike for parts. Best way to do it. Or go hardcore and just spray it all black.
May 24, 201212 yr Author Its changed a bit now from the pic above.... Been busy offshore so its taken a while to get it done.... Just to get the new tyres on.... Bertie.
May 24, 201212 yr Moderator Isn't it odd how bikes always look better with all the legal crap thrown out. I take it the back of your jacket is ready for the onslaught. Love what you have done with it.
May 25, 201212 yr Looking a lot better mate! personally id get shot of them wing mirrors for a small over taking mirror and de-badge her as well. Keep it up.
May 25, 201212 yr Author I do agree with the mirror comment..... I just havent found smaller ones that i like yet.... De-badged was talked about last night, I take it they're just stuck on?? Bertie.
May 25, 201212 yr I got a set of Bar end ones that i modified to fit where the mirrors should go. Check out black betty in this section (gallery) As for the badges, yer they are just stuck on and is many was to take them off, the way i did it was to get some fishing line and ran it behind the badge the removed the foam sticky stuff with meth spirits. You could also steal the wife's hair dryer and warm it up first then is will pull off easier. O and one more thing.....................Get shot of the pillion pegs too.....looks like you wont be needing them
May 25, 201212 yr Moderator Totally agree noise, but, don't you think twin headlights would butch the front up a bit. Could mount the indicators in the side of them too. Then do a repaint but subtle, use black and charcoal or any very very slightly lighter black (that sounded daft) done with a camo pattern then bang on a satin laquer. Be a lot cooler than 'just matt'. Feel free to ignore, just its nice to see something a little different. I actually saw a harley i liked yesterday, a 50's, (must be something that way) knucklehead with hand shift and foot clutch not all bolt on crap and chrome. Watching the man in traffic, he knew the beastie for sure smooth as you like.
May 25, 201212 yr Author I was looking at these projector lights.... I wasnt sure if they would be too modern...... Ha, the rear pegs were brought to my attention tonight when out wi the boys.... As i said to the chick, the bike is now a BFZ, a what she said?? A be-atch free zone...... No rear seat n all..... Bertie.
June 6, 201212 yr Author Well thats the white walls on, the last thing on the list to do...... Its changed again.... Bertie.
