bike is now naked 2 Years, 4 Months ago  




My R* is no completely naked. I have the 12" apes comming in this week and have bought custom painted tins. I am not sure if I will keep that paint job or go for my dream candy red. However, I could use some advice.. Now would be the time to do any wiring. I am thinking of upgrading the coil and plug cables...any thought on that?

I am going to be turning into a solo as i never have a passenger. I don't have the skill to put in hi performance pistons but i assume they would be needed if i add more aggressive cams. Am I also right that other work must be done to get anything out of these pistons?

I am thinking about a 3-6 degree rake triple tree. pretty expensive but i want this to be a very special ride.

I saw some one has a fat rear tire for sale on this board but cant find it now. Shame as I think that would look great.

Seen as this is my clear canvas as such, any other ideas as to what i should do. I am putting on a very sleek looking head light but don't know if i want a light bar or not.

I can use the new tins to lower the rear, or at least make it look lower, but is there anything i can really do to actually lower the bike, front and rear.

I want to have this bike ready for next years trade show that we attend. It is not a show piece but will incorporate all of my technologies and act as a demo for them.

Please chime in with any thought regardless of how wild.
Also, if you know of any good site i might source stuff or at least get some unique ideas please let me know

Cheers
