Bad Kaw.. You going to to "thunder in the valley" over in marquette on saturday?Comment

No, unfortunately I will be at the FHSU graduation in the morning, then immediately jumping in the car and taking I-70 for a 5 hour ride to Colorado Springs. But my good buddy Dustin is going down with a few of his buddys. He's got a black V-Max, the last year of the first generation ones...what's that make it, a 2008?...I dont' know. Anyway, he's got a chrome Holeshot (I think) exhaust system on it, so if you see a bike like that with EL county tags go tell him you know his motorcycle buddy that goes to his church...he'll get it.

PS> I put a LOT of miles on X-1s back when I worked for Topeka HD; great bike.Comment

Carbs!
Hi all, here's a pic of my bright n shiny ohhhhhhhh so sexy plastic coated carbs!
I won't say too much on here about them as they deserve their own thread, my good friend BriBird did the work for me, all i had to do was polish the internals and put them together with stainless hardware. Can't wait to put these on, i just hope the rest of my bike is worthy of wearing em!
Cheers BriBird!
BTW, made a decision on a rear light, cheers for the tip there nvr2old, i went for something similar. Update pics on this very soon.
Check out the "Plastic Coated Carbs" thread in the appearance section for more pics on these little beauts!

Wo-hooow! Very nice.
But I'm going to go all "taboo" here: how much did that cost?

It wasn't enough!
Needless to say, Bribird is one VERY generous gent indeed, i'll be working that debt off for quite some time to come..............
Did i manage to wriggle out of that one ok?Comment

LOL! Dont let him fool ya... its not like I am all that generous. Me and Yaddy are buds and help each other out when need be. I have the proper front master on my bike now, and an oil cooler that I could not have done without his help on figuring the oil plumbing differences between his 650 and mine, as well as the oil pan and the regulator block off tube. It was the least I could do to repay him for helping me out. Thanks again yaddy.Comment

Okay, okay...a "buddy" deal. Say no more. My inquisition has its boundaries. Well done, all the way around!

Here's the wiring all complete and functioning correctly (eventually!). Looks pretty cool all tucked away under the seat i think.

Rear lamp from a GSXR750
Lense after a good belt sanding to make it fit flush onto the tail section
Lense after a good "wet n dry" session to remove the various scuffs n scrapes
All shiny and as good as new

Gulp! Panicking at this point!
The "donor" led lamps
Lamp wiring complete, the inside of the tail section will be satin blacked very soon.

Here's the finished look of the lamp, fitted and functional. I like the large size of it and also, the pretty subtle look to it. I did want two seperate lamps originally but i think this one fits the bike as a whole. So far, this is the only thing on the bike that has a visible "Suzuki" logo/wording on. I might just leave it at that tbh, i like the plain look of the bike and it will probably keep a few people guessing as to what it is, although that tank is a dead giveaway i think!
