Author Message   Capital_g Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 09:45 am:        I started making a few changes last fall and posted the "before" but the painter took so long that thread is now deep in the BW archives... Here are the after with - powdercoating, dual headlights Forcewinder and CRG Hindsight mirrors (the best addition by far I can now see BEHIND me)and tank accents. The windscreen still needs the X1 sticker to be complete after reshaping and painting it, BTW - the pictures make it look funny like it is just sitting on top of the headlights it does look good in person.   Kalali Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 11:30 am:        I am not a big fan of the double headlight conversions but somehow it looks good on your bike. May be its the color contrast. Very nice shade of yellow. Well done.   Pkforbes87 Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 01:27 pm:        I've never been a fan of the double headlights on a tuber either, but the bike looks great! I'm interested in the rearsets. Who makes them and what do you think of them?   Lowroad Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 04:28 pm:        I absolutely LOVE it. It's perfect. Where is your breather going to?   Capital_g Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 04:33 pm:        Thanks for the compliments! Lowroad - The breather is routed from the tubes in the picture to a rubber line ran along the frame, down by the sprocket and onto the ground. PKk -They are Crossroads, I really like them, they were on the bike when I bought it so I really don't have anything to compare it too though.   Brinnutz Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 05:28 pm:        What headlights and and mounts did you use and the wiring involved. I am curious because I want to do something similar. Just didn't know how or what to by.   Tdman77 Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 05:37 pm:        Looks good. Really like the rearsets also. I've been eyeing them at American Sport Bike but just way out of my price range.   Capital_g Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 07:25 pm:        Brin - 4" from Aztec8 website. I used the stock mounts and "messaged" them a little. I also removed the stalks from the turn signals to bring them in a little closer.   Littlebuggles Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 07:28 pm:        Nice color, looks almost, but not quite barricade orange. Those are nice rearsets. XB*S headlights?   Capital_g Posted on Monday, April 27, 2009 - 07:45 am:        Littlebuggles- Aftermarket lights. The color is the original Reactor Yellow, I only had the windscreen painted to match. Cheapo camera and makes the color look off I guess...   Littlebuggles Posted on Monday, April 27, 2009 - 04:40 pm:        Yeah, looks like it's got a touch of orange in it, maybe the bike bein' in the shade too. Nice work on the windscreen too, looks really clean. I like the pc on the Forcewinder it blends well with the black motor.   Lowroad Posted on Monday, April 27, 2009 - 04:43 pm:        yeah, great. Now I want my forcewinder powder coated black. thanks.
