In the business that has been my life lately, I've found the time to pull off all the lighting from the front, then mounted the bracket, and mocked up the Fatwing from Roger. Damn that man does good work. Ordered new rubber for the front and back. I'm going with Michelin Commander II's in stock size up front and the 170/80 out back. It's long overdue. The front is cupping pretty bad and the back Metzler is pretty square. Tons of tread, but square enough to start to kick out the back end during some good cornering.
Only thing I had to do was open the headlight hole a tad to fit the new housing. I've done away with the split 6" HID's (they're going to be the Dodge's new driving lights, going to mount them in the old turn signal location) and running a triple LED unit that is bright as hell along with equally bright 2", LED driving lights.
Not that I really need much light in the summer, but it does get dark, at night, in the fall.
Next step I'll be doing this weekend is fabricating/mounting the braces for the saddlebags. One side will house the nitrous bottle, nitrous controller, and CO2 tank for the air shifter. The other side, the usual 1st aide kit, tools, etc.
Then a quick an easy footpeg swap for me and swap out the old passenger pegs for floorboards, for her.
I'll post pictures, along the way.
The last things on the winter's mod list is to pull the tail section, build a more comfortable seat and finish the mini back rest, then paint everything and mount it up for good.
