OK so last year I got this T100 and before I had picked it up I already had a load of changes in mind. Something more like a 70's style sport bike, at least what I think that is.
So last year I changed the fenders, added D&D reverse cones, and a bunch of chrome (sorry to the chrome haters but, it was popular "back in the day"). The one promise I made to my wife was that I'd get her a sissy bar (she's new to riding!). So when she rides, the sissy bar goes on, the rest of the time I prefer the grab rail.
This year I was introduced to this forum by musicswapshoppe and realized I had more work to do. One thing that had bothered me right from the beginning was those black plastic gauge cups. Then I discovered D9 here. Finally somebody gets it.
Well earlier this year I put on new Avon Roadriders, Newbonneville.com's airbox removal kit (NARK), and Ikon's chrome 7614 rear shocks and their progressively wound front springs.
This week end I put on D9's layflat sportbracket with polished aluminum cups, Hedge's 8 ball pull choke knob, and an NBR sticker (I don't even put stickers on my old beat up van but, hey, ya gotta support! This is a good forum started under the most noble of intentions, IMHO).
So enough talk, here's some pics...
Brand new on the showroom floor H-E-L-L-O ! ! !
Last years mods...
NARK & 8 Ball...
Before D9...
and after...
tchef told me how to strip powder coat of bottom of forks...
gotta support...
Oh yeah, if I ever get tired of claret/aluminum silver all I gotta do is change or paint the tank!
Now, if I could just find some good mirrors...
