Had a couple of hours this past weekend for mods

[fender]

I've finally found some time to work on the bike. The better half let me take a break from remodeling the kitchen this past weekend. I've have several parts waiting to get installed, Sleepers from British Customs (replaced Predators) and Layflat w/ polished cups from D9.

Can't say enough good things about both venders. The fit and finish are first rate. I wish I did the layflat bracket sooner as it really changes the look of the bike. I tried to capture the pics from the ridding perspective.

Here's a link to my mockups as I was deciding what I wanted to do. D9 was quite helpful in adding input.

More mods to follow when time permits...

Beautiful! You've convinced me that I NEED the Sleepers from BC. I'd love to hear some sound clips when you have a chance.

fender....as in the guitar? I like your style Dude.

I'll post up some audio of them. I loved the sound of the Predators but really liked the look of the Sleepers, now I have the best of both. The Sleepers tone is lower, at idle I would say there a little quieter but on the rode I don't believe there is much of a difference in volume.

There are two videos out there but they don't do them justice:

yes - fender as in the guitar, to bad I can't play for shit but it's fun trying.

Very nice.
Saaaayyyyy... would you like to let loose on that bracket you replaced???
Of course then I'll have to find a tach to fill the hole.

 

[fender]

Shoot me a pm with what your thinking. You will also need a gasket and tach cover along with the tach.

I know I,ve been promising an audio clip of my Sleepers for a while now...I'll see if I can make that happen this weekend. As an update, I have changed out my main jets to 125's. The 135's affected my mpg adversely with the stock airbox left in. Probably lost some top end, but other than that my bike is running and sounding great.

Gretsch...as in guitar?

I had 125's w/ the Predators and stock airbox for my 790. Ran great with that combo. Now that I've gutted the air box I'm still dialing in the right size, currently I have 145's but am going to try 142's before I hit the dyno sometime this spring.

Please keep us posted...eventually I might decide to yank the airbox. The Sleepers sound great, don't they?

D9'sDaMan!!!

I have the layflat sport and the ignition port plug, fantastic service and top notch quality.

Your bike looks awesome :headbang2:

Nice, nice bike. I keep looking at your rear fender chop. What kind of tools did you find worked best? Seriously considering doing it for shits and giggles. Probably just at the lower edge of the licence plate.

I used a Dremel with a heavy duty cutoff wheel. I used masking tape to get the contour and cut along the edge of the tape. File the edge down and brush on touch up paint. I found the how to's on the other site which I believe were posted by D9 and Loxpump if I remember correctly.

The rear was easy put the bike on the stand and started cutting. Trimming down the front was a pain.

 

[Craigore]

Are you selling the Predators?

 

[koifarm]

Fender,
What kind of shocks do you have on the bonnie? Noticed they were slightly different.

 

[KingBear]

Nicely done!

The shocks are from Works Performance Products, I have the fronts also.

I'll be selling them, I have someone that I'm waiting to hear from before I post them up for sale.
