        rear sets

        I found these at the above link. They should bolt on without modification.

          I have thought about rear sets, I dont think I'll need them, I need to do a test drive to see how it feels, Thnaks for the compliments!!

          The tank and seat are almost done, both black on black, The exhaust is the next thing, its almost done too!

            That's looking sharp. Are you going to do the other engines cases to match the trany cover?

              I may do the rest of the engine covers, not sure. I was able to polish one up real nice, almost looks brand new! I think I may just do that, the tank is getting painted tomorrow, so stay tuned!

                    Front discs are on the wrong sides.......
                    If it ain't broke, modify it!

                        Front discs are on the wrong sides.....

                        I just noticed that yesterday when I was looking at it, whoops! lol
                        It was late and dark, and a pita, sorry! lol Will it cause problems??

                        The final drive, I started to do it black and red also but the fins on it were too tall, making it real difficult to make it look good, once the tank and seat get on there, I'll have to look at it and judge if there would be too much black with red accents, you can only go so far!

                        Thnaks for the replies guys!

                          Well I agree with the slight accents. I only did my wheels and the "YAMAHA" lettering on my final drive. Took a very steady hand!



                          Do what YOU think looks good! I look forward to seeing the finished product.
