| | | pretty my motorbike | 10/1/2008 11:49:59 PM | | here.s my todo list for the bike, since i.m most likely not buying a new one anytime soon :
change the oil
seafoam the tank [maybe the block, too?]
strip and spraypaint the tank matte black [edit: actually, it.s now drab green with a matte black cap]
spraypaint side covers, mirrors, fender, lower forks, instrument panel cover, rims, rear rack, most other stationary hardware [or anything unsightly chrome] matte black
spraypaint exhaust, block, all engine component covers, shaft drive cover matte black
replace handlebars with black powder-coated drag bars [maybe risers, too]
remove grab bar, if practical, otherwise paint matte black
reposition shifter pedal, brake pedal for more forward seated position
replace mirrors
replace rectangular headlight with dual round headlights, spray matte black if necessary
replace all light bulbs in instrument panel
replace valve stem covers with normal ones [discard away the plastic eagle covers]
edit...i think i also want to add fork boots. that should black-out the whole front-end maybe i.ll use some drab green instead of all black. i.ll think about it...could be cool.
guess i.ll have some time during the winter to do this stuff. just nowhere to do it, damnit.
