Looks nice, the red is a nice offset...but you gotta do something about that exhaust. Really brings the bike down. Do you have plans for that? Maybe a regular coating of BBQ paint>

Sure do, plan on making a custom header with a SuperTrapp. If that fails to materialize I plan on doing the Jardine.

Dang! Your bike is SO SICK right now! Nice color scheme and awesome job on the blacked out rearsets.

Get the fork brace, if you go to the SS braided line.

I'm running "daytona" bars that I got from JC Whitney. I like them, a bit taller and more pullback than superbike bars. The GP Touring look like the split the difference between the Superbike and Daytona bars.

I have it one there EZ, CrossRoads.

It took many hours with the Dremmel to clean out all of the parts. Had to tap and die a few connections as well. I think it was all worth it though. Bike was down for 5 weeks.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. Got rubbernecked today...that was cool.

I'll get some better pics up when I stop riding so much.

Found a nice little spot for the breather hose filter.

(I know my dad dremmeled out the wrong side, it's fixed just not in this pic)

You guys want to have the hose flowing down so oil and condensation do not collect in the low spot in the hose.

I said I used the same bracket. I didn't say I kept it at the same angle. My filter is actually pointing forward at a slight downward angle and there is no low spot in the hose for oil to collect. Looks like a mini conical air filter.

I've read some here say that you don't even need a breather at all and can remove the "T" fitting and just run a drain line off of the PCV valve. When I first put my new air cleaner on I didn't know what to do with the breather end of the "T" so I capped it off until I could figure something else out for it. I took it for a test ride and it looked like the engine was blowing it's brains out. Oil was everywhere! I didn't realize what was causing it and panicked thinking I blew a rocker gasket or something worse. Finally it dawned on me that my plugging the breather may have caused it and I was right.

Since I turned the PCV around to face the rear and shortened the hose, rotated the "T" coupling to point up and ran the breather hose to a nice little filter I haven't used any oil and my engine has stayed nice and clean. Something it hasn't done even when it was new. With the stock air box I had oil everywhere - in the air box, all over the front of the engine and engine mounts, misting onto the foot pegs brackets...Now I have no oil issues. I love it! Needless to say, I do NOT recommend that anyone skips a breather and just tries to run a drain line off of the PCV valve. You should have BOTH.

Everytime I look at those rearsets, they look better and better. The black looks good!

It is comprised of the old style Banke shifter for the S1, the Pro-series pegs for the Tuber Buells,and custom bracketry to mount stuff on - though mounting your own rear MC is left up in the air and done several ways.

I agree, I think It's because they're blacked out that they look so good. I never liked the look of them before I so em on Thump's bike. I just can't justify the price tag. My creation will come soon!

But now you see why they cost so much - The Banke shifter, even discounted to the wholesaler is pricey, then the pegs are 200 for a set, then the custom plates and spacers - lol - but they still look good to me - even after all these years - lol

Here are some of my 06 blast. I have bar ends, all plastic removed, drilled stock muffler, modded headlight bracket/front blinkers, shaved licence plate bracket, blacked-out everything but swingarm. GP Touring bars (black), Cherry Bomb, and traction grips in the mail, as well as D2MOTO.COM LED Blinkers, #45 and #175 jets, and Avons on the way. I'm working on a custom intake with a Torque stack and black PVC but I gotta wait til I can afford the filter! Let me know if yall like her (her name is Penelope)....I seem to be the only Central Texas Bueller around! Thanks!

Here's a couple shots of my 2001 (I tried to fix the terrible white balance in the last two, and I think it just got worse). Haven't really done anything with it other than dirt track bars.





I'm really hoping to move on to something bigger soon, but I can't say that this bike hasn't been fun.

That bike will be a Blast as soon as you switch out tires to anything else! Great pics! As for power - some basic mods to a stock bike will release a little extra as well.
By the way - Welcome!
