My next el cheapo project

Stay tuned for updates

lol, not going back to the stock fairings are we...

Nope, and I think this may be easier and cheaper than I thought. Got the set of lights for $20 at Advance. I'll get the metal like I used for my tag bracket (super cheap) I've priced turn signals for under $20.

Gotta make a bar end mirror, too.

what about brake light?

I'm gonna put the stock tail section back on and go naked on the front. The tailsection is a piece of cake. It's the front that takes so long. I hope to do a TD per month and don't feel like changing back and forth. Plus, I don't care what it looks like on the streets. I'm more into performance than looks these days.

Want to be able to cruise around legal with minimal effort

more performance than looks... thats why you changed the graphics on your stock plastics? :lol:

The red annoyed the hell outa me

didnt you only rash up your track plastics?

Not really. Slider and exhaust took the brunt of it. Nothing worth fixing.

The mock up. Got the lights wired and the plate is zip tied to the bracket. A LOT of the metal showing will be trimmed and blacked. Took a spin around the block, and the lights are gonna be great.

or cheapest option with full light and directionals.

Those are pretty cool. Thanks. I just wanted to play with this project rather than just buy and bolt on.

Pretty sweet.

Good Luck. Cant wait to see what you do with it.

same here.

Got it finished tonight. I'll take pics on the morning

Tease!

Looking good though dude. So are you going to have the race fairings on there with this stuff, or are you going to have it streetfightered for the street? The pic you showed, the fairings were off.

If I end up streetfightering my next bike, I will probably buy from moto-madness.com. More expensive than e-bay, but he seems like a good guy.

Just get an XB, problem solved.

Naked on the front. The tail section is easy on/off. So I built this to have headlights with just four bolts and a plug.

Someday I may really hardcore fighter this bike. Right now I just need it street legal between TDs.

Oh, btw, it is nasty here today. So no pics yet :no:

Finished $30 total

honestly I think you hit your head too hard at the track... taking a brand new bike and street fightering it... Ohh well to each their own i guess.

Somebody save and attatch the pics. I wanna see them.

dude it's the return OF

Here ya go Dlit

Anybody?

yeah, I just did it. Look above your post.

I gotta do something like this. There was a guy on TWF that had his track 'glass on and a light mounted to those. Don't know what he did for the rear though. The gap between track days will be big enough to mount my street plastics though.

hahaha

Honestly, I think that looks terrible, but it was cheap and functional... I would have spent $15 more and got one of those shitty all-in-one deals from eBay...

You're right. But it is functional and was fun putting it together. I'm probably gonna come up with a way to use the same lights on my track plastics.

That's the new direction I'm going. Should have it done tonight

Yeah, but had the thin, oval ones that tucked up nicely under the upper. Lemme see if i can find a pic...

Here it is.

Nice

Dlit I think that was The Awesome. Trip and Kyle know him personally

I'm glad I got towards the end of this thread and see that you decided to do something else. It looked like poop, Kevin :lol:
Yeah Tyler Burroughs... gap local and is now trying to make his way racing WERA novice. One of the vendors on here sponsors him I think.

We have a vendor section now??
