Maintenance items: (both really easy)
Front brake pad replacement (2 bolts & 1 pin per caliper) Front fork oil replacement (drain plug R&R, remove dash piece to fill) Gloss black powder: saddlebag surrounds horn cover tank dash air cleaner cover starter cover rear fender struts license plate brackets Flat black high temp powder (the powder will be more durable than ceramic, flat cause gloss will loose its shine over time & miles): heat shields mufflers ceramic (gray-color doesn't matter) the exhaust pipes for an added heat barrier This has always been the only read cosmetic mods I ever thought of for the last 2 years of ownership. Always said I might do this one day... So I started into the bike... All of this chrome needs to go (saddle bag surrounds, rear fender struts, plate bracket, mufflers) http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project006.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project007.jpg Off with the parts http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project009.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project012.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project013.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project015.jpg remove the horn cover http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project011.jpg tank dash gone http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project014.jpg exhaust heat shields and air cleaner cover off http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project016.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project017.jpg Exhaust pipes off http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project018.jpg After also doing the nightster I had allot of parts off... YIKES this is going to get expensive! http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project025.jpg |
Not much to report on the Ultra.
The LED I bought from HD 2 years ago never was all that good. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ic/Mods055.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project037.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project038.jpg So I bought 2 things to try from my friends at www.superbrightleds.com This neat little thing that comes with all the different connectors. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project040.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project041.jpg But it ended up just looking like this square group of LEDs. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project043.jpg So I decided to go with the other option. A 360* high powered led jobber http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project039.jpg So here's the HD http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project044.jpg The superbright hotness http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project045.jpg The superbright version lights the entire lens (regardless of the pic), where as the HD one is like little LED dots. I picked up a bunch of powder which has gavin me a proper excited state. I just need to find time to mount it up. |
This really should have been posted last week, but was busy with my buds wedding and doing best man stuff for that. But...
Got some stuff back from powder. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project078.jpg Detail cleaned that stuff, and light wax job on it. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project081.jpg New air cleaner ring installed on the cover http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project079.jpg Installed and even with the chrome center nut it keeps the mix of chrome/black http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project082.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project083.jpg Starter cover done black. Never understood why they chromed (to bring attention to it) such a pointless cover. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project086.jpg Put the center back in the tank dash. This is going to be a great chrome/black highlight piece as you'll see. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project080.jpg Chrome gas cap cover with the black willie g skull... I think it looks great. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project090.jpg Plus the black right against the black pearl (gray) paint. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project091.jpg Waiting on some key parts to get the saddle bags back on and the ceramic stuff done on the pipes. Stay tuned... |
I hope I never ride near enough to you to be blinded by the sun reflecting off your bike
|
But I'm getting rid of chrome... so that should make it better.
