My first mods!

dewey405 · 04-13-2012, 09:19 PM

Tonight I finished my first 'real' mods, I already put the V&H slip ons on, but I don't really consider that anything. Tonight I installed a fuse block and ran 4 wires up into my headlight for future use (once I get my fairing). I also marbled the intake and hard wired my GPS power cord.

I made the plate out of 1/4 plexiglass type stuff, mounted the relay on the back side.

Tomorrow I have to flip the exhaust gaskets because I have a leak and adjust my belt tension then hopefully if it all doesn't get taken to Oz tomorrow I will be riding sun/mon pending weather.

Looks good, nice job.

Thats a good start, I'm sure you'll find a lot more to tinker with.

Nice and clean. Great job!

Looks good Dewey, I think that I will do something similar on mine. It was an interesting spring weather day in southwest Oklahoma yesterday. They are calling for more of the same today. Ruined my riding plans for today..... Looked like it was pretty wild in Norman yesterday, hope you missed out on that one as well as the next round.

Yeah, I don't envy anyone who lives between Lawton/Altus and Chickasha..seems like every tornado cuts its teeth in that alley. Thanks everyone for the compliments.

I'm exactly half way in between Altus and Lawton... Great for rides after work in the Wichita wildlife refuge.

I love that ride, I usually come at from the ft. cobb area through meers..last week or so I happened to hit one of the stupid cattle guards on the cross bar part and my front tire slipped, talk about major pucker factor, lol! Didn't go down, but it was the closest I have been.

I can imagine that would be a little scary.... Ive had a couple of close calls over there myself, its the cool animal distractions....
