Link for that windshield? I'm going to need one come winter, and saving $75 sounds good to me.

geoffsimpson · 08-14-2008, 07:11 PM

You kinda got that tactical helmet thing goin' on there.

diamond_jim · 08-14-2008, 08:55 PM

That's my inspiration!

dreygun · 08-14-2008, 09:45 PM

could almost pass for paintball scenerio lol.. anyhoo, received my package from kuryakyn. large iso pegs (front and back), clutch cover, large brake cover, and clear signal covers. took a while to get through the stock brake metal. zipped over to cdntire and picked up the front and back orange signal bulbs. if you ever need to change them, the front ones have 2 prongs, the back ones have one. save ya some time lol.

1badbaker · 08-14-2008, 10:08 PM

Rode 300+ miles of mostly twisties....the dragon was in there twice....

dreygun · 08-15-2008, 05:37 PM

integrated lights package just got here.!!!!! going to install now yay!

dreygun · 08-15-2008, 08:47 PM

back. here's a few pics of the install afterwards. used a cutting wheel on a dremel to cut the bottom part of the back housing. but left the sides where the bolts hold onto the backlight on the sides. still could use some nice rounded edges with sand paper, but overall i think it turned out nicely. looks like a crotch rocket from behind if saddlebags didn't ruin the look. (note: going by the colors of wire to splice into the oem colors. they were opposite but i just switch the oem clips instead of resplicing.)

then ziptied the license plate onto sissy bar until the side mounted curved plate thingy shows up at my door next week. wondering when the bike gets lowered the 3 inches if the saddlebag will block the view of license plate on left.

good news is i have two clear signal covers for sale. just installed last night when they came lol. offer up.

Trigger1985 · 08-16-2008, 09:56 PM

Finally got over the depression of losing my covers and went out and bought the stuff to make a "red neck" motorcycle lift so that I can install my 2 inch lowering kit... considering different options of making the bike symmetrical, maybe more rat-rod like and taking off all the covers I don't need. Start blacking out chrome.. work with what I'm given kinda thing...

burnchassis · 08-16-2008, 10:16 PM

Today I cut off the rear license plate bracket,and relocated it to the side,and added a LED light strip above the brake light.
Kinda cool its a M!
Started after the sun went down,and worked into the evening.

You know I kinda like that...

diamond_jim · 08-16-2008, 10:50 PM

I forgot what stock rear brake light LEDs look like on the M.

sarjent · 08-17-2008, 12:10 AM

lets see..put on sissy bar the other day..new rear signals..
.............
today, I hit a pot hole and bottomed out doing 80..the license plate looked really bad lol

womper · 08-17-2008, 02:15 AM

does the led strip come on with the brakes or is it always on?

bottoming out sucks and scares the crap out of me..

OCMaestro · 08-17-2008, 11:25 AM

Hmm, woke up at 5 am thanks to the dogs

after partying until 3am. Decided to make a productive day of it, put on my side mount curved license plate, and did a little surgery to the back end, until my integrated light gets here.... Strange what a little motivation will do for you. Time to go for a ride

Can you link to where you got the windshield? I don't mind saving 75$!

cardude720 · 08-17-2008, 07:55 PM

i finally got around to tightening my rear brake and it makes a helluva difference!

dreygun · 08-17-2008, 08:18 PM

washed the bike with son using mr.clean dry fast (no more spots), after cruising around town stopping for jeans and shirts for him. stopped off down by barrie's lakeshore to play minigolf with him, went for slurpees, old navy for jeans. back home

sweet... i'm looking for running lights just like that..

where did you pick it up?

Rockyrikoko · 08-17-2008, 10:56 PM

I changed the engine oil myself for the first time and didnt change the filter. The manual says the filter only has to be changed every 11k miles/36 months. This goes against everything I thought I knew about oil changes but its a good way to save $36 in filters.
