Posted December 28, 201410 yr Hi all, new on the forums, heres my ride; Mods done so far and some info on them (for anyone looking at the same parts) ;--Exhaust Vance & Hines, big radious 2 into 2--Front & rear brake resevoir covers Highway hawk front and rear reservoir covers, easy to fit and look great, the rear one is of a xvs1300 which i bought by mistake, fits perfectly tho with a tiny bit of persuasion.--Clutch perch cover Highway hawk, good addition, keeps the crap from getting inside the clutch\lever, and is good looking.--Brake light trim Small but worth while addition to the bike.--Fender eagle --Heated Grips Went with oxford cruiser grips, having had datatool grips on my previous ride, these work just as well and have more control over the temperature. --Rectifier cover Highway hawk part, really simple to fit, looks great and keeps the crap of the rectifier.--Passenger floorboards This was the second bigest pain in the ass to fit of all the mods (1st been the neck covers) they look great and much more cumfy for the passenger so i've been told, had to clamp them up on the hangers in a vice to squash the black rubbers enough to get a locking pin in, and also chamfer the locking pins, so not as simple a fit as the blurb makes them sound.--Brake line chrome wrap Basic mod, till i change the brake lines to braided ones. --Chrome frame neck covers Highway hawk part and a pain in the ass to fit, they look great but took an extra pair of hands and some small modifcation Still a few more bits to do yet, got a cobra powerflo air intake and a cobra FI2000 fuel management unit to instal this week. Other mods/Plans; --Chrome frame cover --Tail tidy --LED brake light mod --Change the sissybar & add a luggage rack --Change the mirrors --Mustang seat --Rider floorboard covers --Sump drain valve plug And possibly some custom paintwork at some point.
December 29, 201410 yr Moderator very nice dave, I can see you love that bike bike eh? are spoked wheels a possibility on these bikes?
January 11, 201510 yr Author Air intake fitted, FI2000 fitted, Sissybar removed and reflectors on panniers removed with eagles replacing them.
January 11, 201510 yr I love this! I think I will be following suit with an XVS950. Looks smart... Maybe an XVS550 as it will be my first bike after my little learner 125SR
