Got the horn done... here's the pieces
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project104.jpg And it does like I have been trying to do... disappearing act http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project106.jpg Can't put the saddlebags back together, cause one of the tubes had to be re-done... but got the fenderstruts and trunk detach kit pieces done. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project108.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project109.jpg Keeping with the blend of black & chrome... the plate frame is still chrome with black print http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...roject110a.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...roject113a.jpg |
So I let the fork oil drain for a couple days
Installed to torque spec the new drain plugs http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project134.jpg Measure out spec amount of fluid http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project136.jpg Funnel to the top of the fork & pour in http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project135.jpg With 15,500 miles on my Ultra, the dealership mechanic was surprised I was on the original brake pads. He said, most people only get 10k out of them. I figure my amount of miles is due to my road trips on the highway. I'm always amazed by how little pad material is actually on new pads. But they are suppose to be 4.5mm or bigger. Mine were 1.8 - 2.9mm. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project137.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project140.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project146.jpg It's always a nice feeling to get some good preventative maintenance done to the bike. All that is left to do is get & hang exhaust. |
Well I had everything but the exhaust on the bike and it kept bugging me that the front still looked stock. So I tore the front light dept all apart and removed some pieces for gloss black powder.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project147.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project148.jpg Picked up the ceramic exhausts... love the way ceramic looks, hate how easy it is to scratch. But love even more how well it absorbs/controls heat. Did the Ultra pipes in a flat black, because it will hide better behind the high temp powdered heat shields and big reason is to control the heat. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project150.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project151.jpg Put on the flanges and re-installed the O2 sensors http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project166.jpg Mounted the exhaust (did with and without flash pics here, it looks like a mix of them in person, damn flash vs garage lighting) http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project167.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project168.jpg Left side muffler and heat shield http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project171.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project172.jpg Re-installed the high temp powdered heat shields http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project173.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project174.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project175.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project176.jpg And of coarse the right side muffler http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project177.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project178.jpg |
With the saddle bags back on
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project182.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project183.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project184.jpg A view from the back http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project189.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project188.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project186.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project187.jpg Will pick up the front fairing bib, and light bar Monday. The 3 light rings, "out-gassed" real bad when heated for powdering, so my powder guy , is going to get a primer that controls out gassing and re-powder them again. He won't settle for anything but perfect, which is why we get along so well. After that, I'm done with the Ultra and therefor all the winter time bike projects. |
Sinister.

Gas,
When you roll the bike out for it's first ride of the season do me a favor: Take a pic of the entire bike as it is now (front and profile preferred) and post them up with the same (or similar) pics from when it was new. You've done so much and so many of the pics are up close I want to see a whole bike side by side before and after. :dthumb: |

But yes the list seems to be growing... I also no longer have the lower fairings, and engine bar on the bike... the bar has to get blacked... its the missing piece to tie it all in. |
Well I got to looking at my overall appearance of the bike as stated earlier... The front end still looked completely stock and didn't show the efforts I put into the fairing backwards on the bike. Again, I'm a perfectionist so I had to do something... well a few weeks ago I got the front end parts back.
Got the "fork bib" back http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project190.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project190.jpg Installed http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project193.jpg The light bar http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project195.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project196.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project198.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project199.jpg Get the blinkers and aux lights re-installed and the aux lights adjusted http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project205.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project208.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project201.jpg I like how the parts aren't chrome over the black inner fairing anymore http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project210.jpg Got the rings back from powder. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project213.jpg Installed http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project218.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project219.jpg I like the black/chrome look carried here. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project220.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Project221.jpg |
