I sent my items to paint last week and they came back friday. My Bud, Jay, picked them up and put it all together for me. Man I owe him a million for all the work he has done personally without me, and letting me be his helper while this project went on. Overall - not bad for first timers to a mod this drastic. Still waiting on rearset overseas - but basically done. Let me and him know what you think.

Also - thanks to MrBAMcClain on the forum for the great replacement tank he had - just waiting for me to take off his hands. Here it is in black.

In case you were wondering what brought all this change on.

Before the wreck

Before the transformation:

Nice work!!!!!

Too bad you'll have to muck it up with a license plate and inspection sticker. BTW... What's the scoop on the red chain??

Again....

on the rising of the phoenix!!

Just wanted to put a little color somewhere on the bike. Thought the chain would look really cool while running - like 2 red lines above and below the swingarm.

I'll just have to keep it real clean.

Turned out great dude....

Now get out and ride it till the wheels fall off

RK (maybe some others) offers chain in a host of colors.
Yes, blue is one of them.

Yep - It Do! - I am sure your local guy can get it, but I can give you the number of the guy I get parts from, if you want it.

Looking pretty nice. How does it ride with the mods(comfort, handling)?

BTW, I would love to see some pics of it with a scenic background. It looks like a perfect candidate for some scenic shots.

Where's the battery and related electronics?

deepink · « **Reply #13 on:** May 13, 2006, 12:09:48 AM »

There is no battery. Just kidding!.

I used an R1 battery - because it is smaller. All the electronics are in a similar position as the Bandit's original spot. Under the rear seat towards the middle of the tail section.

But it is def. a smaller battery.

That bike kicks ass.
What did you hit when you wrecked it?????? Looks painful.
