Some updates. Got to mock up and fit my new seat latch and a little more trimming on the fiber work. Got some new header gaskets for my other bike but when i was about to start to fit them and i saw how much i had ahead of me i gave up and went to the other bike to fiddle with the seat latch and get it to work. Now i need to make a prong for the seat to fit the latch. Drawn a couple lines to see where i would put my blinkers made out of individual high intensity LEDs. Do you think that i can use this LED stop light? It doesn't fit bad i think. I can make some kind of bracket and cowling for it to fit properly and flush. I also started to convert my remaining covers but no pictures yet. Its like the Duracell bunnies it just keeps going...

Hmmm i got the goodies i was waiting for. Started already fiddling with the menus and such. Got this in a package deal with everything included. I'll be selling some of the modules because i don't need them all and they are handy for the guys with turbos and chargers. Enough with the blabbing here it is...

Do you think that i can use this LED stop light?

Yep! I bought one like this. Mine was to suit a Sachs Madass, so mine was Chinese. When I tested it I thought that it was a bit weak, so I didn't use it.

For anyone reading this, this light also goes close to fitting the standard rear fender, provided you can glue/weld a piece of flat plastic as a mounting point. Then you can bin the steel inner guard too. Similar to the CBR light mod, but smaller and lighter. :biglaugh:
 
Time for an update. Cleaned up the new calipers that im about to fit. I always said i wanted 12 pots up front to match the rear now it will happen. The forks are being worked out for a new look and its getting closer. I started to mess around with some covers. I want to install Windows on my bike but i only have hardware for Windows 4 so it will be it. Working on the gen cover for now and the other smaller ones are getting ready. Just need to get a ring to make it pretty... And thats all for now...

I never understood why some guys need so many pots?? I mean are we stoping a freight train? Ya they look cool but how fast are you guys going to need all that braking power. I never got it.. JS
 
My bike is more like a battering ram. If i need it?... Most likely not (i have radial 4 pots now)... If i like it?... Yes... I add liking with wanting and i get to a result... This is the result (almost)... :biglaugh:
 
I run dual 'Busa 6 pots on Redbone and they are not overkill by any stretch of the imagination. They allow for maximum braking and good modulation as needed.
 
I got fzr1000 6 pots and amazing difference compared to 4 pots.. I can stop on a dime! I dont think my 4 pots had HH pad but my 6 pots do. They look cool and more surface area on pad meening better braking.. and the feel of the brakes is night and day with the nissin master too
 
After the new look on the calipers i needed to get a set of bolts to finish the look. Instead of buying expensive pro-bolt stuff i got standard bolts and turned them to fit my needs... gave them a good polish and now they'll be shiny forever... Stainless stuff...

I decided to do a facelift on my 07-08 R1 forks. Stripped them down for an alu look and lightened them a bit by cutting off the center of the caliper bracket...

My '90 came with a single brake pot on each side. It now has aftermarket cams , HMF 4-2 C.F. cans , Stage 7 Carbs , R-1 Front End with Brembo Rotors & 3 brake pots on each side. 130 mph is not out of the question when I stretch it out on the _______ Interstate , when traffic is non-existant. I have a front R-1 dual pot brake on the rear wheel , notched & braced swingarm , Works Street Tracker shocks , Lightcon 17 " wheels and Michelin Pilot Power radials , and it goes throuth the curves very well. When some cager makes a mental error of any kind , I want to be able to stop my favorite little blue pig as quickly as I need to , at the moment I have to , in order to save both my little blue pig and my covered in gear , favorite rear end. :punk:
