Same as mine tailsection. Trojan sells it also. | ||

That drastically angled tail section always reminded me of something, but I couldn't quite place it. Well, I finally figured it out. It looks like a cat in heat. | ||
| Freezerburn |
If that looks like a cat in heat, yours looks like a dog with its tail between its legs!!!! LOL Peace kids. | ||

Scunna, What size is your rear tire, And how does one read that site in English? | ||
| No_rice |
hogs, i think if i remember right it is a 200, and if you are talking about the hillbilly site just go to the sponsor section and click on hillbilly motorsports and choose english | ||
| Hogs |
Thanks No_rice, I tried their site and they say something about not translated yet... So that must be a custom rim to run the 200 then I guess.. | ||
| Skarecrow |
Nice ride Scunna. What color are those rims? | ||
| No_rice |
when it says that the english pages arent done, it also mentions the german pages, try those. some of it is translated. you can atleast make some of it out. i dont think the american ones will ever actually be done. it has been that way the whole time i have been on here. and if i remember right he had the rim widened a bit for the 200 so that it didnt mess up the profile even slightly | ||

Scunna, do you have a pic looking down at your handlebars and controls? Lightning, is that a custom top triple clamp or what? | ||

Nice Svo. Your frame and plastics look great! Is that powdercoat or paint on the frame and swingarm? Have you thought about doing the front fairing and forks? | ||
| Lighninginthesky |
JWhite: Stock triple, I removed the handle bar saddles and trimmed the cluster fairings to fit the clip-ons. It looks much cleaner than the Crossroads bars for the XBS. | ||
| Svo1023 |
olin no powdercoating just a black base coat clear coat....and thanks mike | ||
| Ridrx |
SVO, That is super nice. How bout some more pics? The glossy frame/sa looks great. Would like to see a better shot of the plastics. Did you paint it all yourself? | ||
| Svo1023 |
thanks ridrx.... yeah i did it all myself...  | ||

| Jwhite601 |
Lightning, so your guages don't fit or you just don't like'em and are gonna do the Dakotas? | ||
| Olinxb12r |
I remember your bike from last years custom thread Svo. It looks completely different depending on the light. I didn't even notice the flake in the paint in the first picture you posted. | ||

JWhite: The way I did it the stock instruments would need to sit 3/4" higher. That's not a bad thing as in the new riding position you must look way down to see the instruments. In the end I wanted something very clean that looked like something the factory could have done. After that the choice of gauges was very difficult. All the options I come up with set the new gauges lower than stock and would have looked great but been of marginal use riding. "  " I decided on the Dakota Digital #MCV-7400 Speedometer/ Tachometer Information Center because it will sit 1 3/4" higher and when mounted directly behind a custom flyscreen will require the least head movement to see. All the info in on the so I will not have to wire up and mount separate information lights and finally frees up some dash space for a guarded grip heat switch and anything else that comes to mind. Also I found some discussion but no one seems to have install a Digital Dakota before. So wish me luck, it should look cool. |
