I have done a thread like this before and it got deleted somehow. Here it goes again!

Here are some pics of what I have done to the bike (mostly just visual mods) since I bought it. I have installed a PC3 and had the bike dyno tuned, but no pics of that unfortunately. I also put a remote start in it just for fun

Back in Jan of 06 with 0 miles on it

It was winter, so I started tearing things apart and modding it before it even hit pavement

HID install 6000k McCulloch

What better time to take the cluster out and send it to bluegauges.com for a little tweak. I did blue tach and white LCDs

Since I still could not ride it, I had to tinker some more and did a DIY FE that I didn't care much for and I ended up getting the R&R FE with an SPR engineering light bar for the plate. Notice I took the side reflectors off but used the mounts for the directionals. This allowed me to keep the stock directionals (I prefer them over less visible small ones or integrated, just my thing) but moved them closer and tucked them a little forward.

I finally got to take her out of the garage for a photo shoot

I finally got my seat cowl in half way through the summer. Polised her up and took a couple more pics

The next winter my bike spent some time at the shop getting everything powdercoated. I had the swing arm, both sets of pegs, gas cap, engine covers, shifter linkage, exhaust heat shield (very nice touch) brake bracket, misc hardware, etc. powder coated. I also finally stopped waiting for Jardine to produce the RT-one dual outlet slip on for the 05-06 and got one of the first ones available. Yes I know the chain is rusty in these pics. I neglected it, I forgot to clean and lube it before winter. It won't happen again

You may also notice that the windshield has been painted black.

Seeing that I am a sucker for subtle accenting, when Tripage came out with his Krazy Eyez, I had to do them in UV

I was at the local dealer picking up some stuff and took a walk through the showroom and noticed the rear directionals on the new 08 1krr were smoked. I went to the parts counter and ordered up 4 of them

A couple sets of amber bulbs and those lenses cleaned up the bike a lot IMO. You can also see the Tripage UV 3rd eye in the last pic.
