Gas,..on your tribal trees, where are you mounting the signal lights? My lights are mounted on the bottom tree.

Gas Man · 01-27-2008, 05:32 AM

What signals?

I'm not running any with the new setup!

if you really wanted to. You could get a different setup like the bar ones that go under the lower. Or just get the clamps that allow you to put some directly on the forks.

newbie dog · 01-27-2008, 05:53 AM

I'm not that cool, I need signals. Any ideas where to find options? I've searched the web and so far no luck.

05Chop...Wyoming? What part? I drive through WY 4 or 5 times a year.

Very nice Gas, and thanks for sharing all your doing to your ride. Also like the idea of no signals as it makes 4 less wires and switches to worry about. Good Luck and Can't Wait to See it Finished!

Joker Machine has great stuff .... so does Pro-One ! Dealer with both so just let me know Newbie

Gas Man · 01-29-2008, 05:57 AM

Ok well today was a decent day for getting some stuff done.

We started like this...

The chrome order from Browns came in today and damn it looks good!

Look at all this packing... these guys are SERIOUS at this.

The bling

My idea on the powder black gas tank ring and chrome gas cap... really paid off!! Cause the black ring helps to not take away from the cap!! SIICK!!

With all of that I fitted the heat shields to the pipes... damn they look F'in HOT!! I can't wait to get them mounted!!

Closer shots

Then I started to knock things off the list.
Finish installing the rear shocks and getting them adjusted.

Installed the bump stops for the rear suspension

Grabbed the oil tank & hardware

Slide it into place

And bolt it up

Go thru and chase all the threaded holes in all the chrome pieces. 80% of it was on the front motor mount. Did all that and installed the front motor mount.

And here's another shot of the 3" belt

Then I did the larger job of servicing my forks as I desribed in my " How To service your forks ". Replacing the fork oil, and seals. Highlight pics below.

Now I wanted to button up some of the front end. Mounted the handlebars with my new bushings and handlebar bolts* (*=you will see why in a min)

Now the reason, I got the new bolts was for the bars was for the spikes to hang off.

Here's the spikes... put some silicone on it as a "insurance" or "backup" to the set screw

See the difference

BAM!

Slide in my recently serviced forks thru the tripples

Oh... and the new fork bezels. Decided to go under the lower tree cause there is already enough "going on" between the tripples

And that concluded the last day or two. With my work sked its been a blur and with very little sleep.

Chopper Dave · 01-29-2008, 06:05 AM
