List of mods.
Originally posted by txironhead View PostSteve and Hector, could I get a list of mods on those bikes? Definitely some sweet rides.
I removed the right side disc brake and caliper.
I mounted a Honda headlight/speedometer combo from the mid 60's.
I think Honda still makes this type of headlight/speedo housing.
It's from a Honda Trail 90.
Mounted drag bars, cut off 1 & 7/8ths off at each end.
Replaced the stator and voltage rectifier w/ an Electrex brand.
Works awesome!
Extended swing arm.
The side covers have been moved back about 1 & 1/2inches
to balance out the extended swing arm and the position of the rear tire.
Vance and Hines 4 into 1.
The tail piece is from a mid 80's Honda Interceptor.
The seat is the original Suzuki, but I cut it short and narrowed it at the back
to follow the lines of the tail piece, and the width of the tail piece as well.
Dunlops front and back.
No turn signals, oil pressure gauge,fuel gauge,neutral indicator light.
Just the essentials .
It's a blast riding this bike. I've gotten quite a few compliments
on the look of the bike.
At the moment I have it painted flat black primer, until I find a color that I feel will really make the bike stand out more.
I'll post a few more pic for you to check out.
I wish you all the best w/ your project!

Sweet mods, I like that most of the parts were "recycled", not just something bolted on from a catalog. What's the red dot on top of the taillight? There was some definite attention to detail making everything fit as well as fit the lines of the bike, I can see why it gets a lot of attention.
What year/model/size are the rims? I like those a lot better than the "stars" that are on my bike. And what swingarm did you use?
I have no idea what color you should paint it, because the flat black definitely fits the attitude of the bike!Last edited by Guest; 06-09-2007, 11:49 PM.
