None. When it's finished, the wires will be in a loom, and just a single shift light where the speedo used to be.

I'm only getting about a few hours a week to work on her, due to school. But by next weekend, I'll have the front end done.

My double scoops are on back order, but should ship next week. then it will be just bolting the tail, scoops, and installing the new fender. than I'm done. For now.

I still have money in the supercharger fund, but I'm thinking hard about stealing from that and getting some wheels from Steve in the UK. its going to be a toss up, cause I really want the supercharger.:bang head:
 
Over the weekend, I did new EBC brake pads all around, coolant flush, new spark plugs, and put on the Mark's exhaust. Bike sounds awesome. Snow was on the ground or I would have taken it for a short spin.

Next up Sean's jet kit. I'll work on that over this week while it's cold outside.
 
cleaned up a bunch of parts, boxed 'em up and ready to bring 'em to the bike... still left to do

1. install powdercoated swingarm and painted diff
2. install other powdercoated parts. swingarm caps, taillight bracket, passenger peg mounts
3. install new shocks (412s)
4. put front end back together (lower triple was painted)
5. put exhaust back on
6. put new hydrolic lines and speedbleeders on
7. install zboost
8. install clear otec water pump cover (does anyone know if they can be powdercoated?)
9. new fuel filter, rear diff oil and anitfreeze as well.
 
re-mounted new rear tire and new wavy rotor put on bike. I'll finish when the adaptors get here.

Installed new sport front fender. Installed shift light mount.
re-installed turnsignals along side of headlights. put all the wires in looms so all is nice and tidy.



Things left to do:
  • Paint and install new scoops when they arrive.
  • Install rear brake adaptors
  • wire up new shift light when it arrives
  • install and wire up tail section
  • re-install bellypan
  • Finish plumbing the dual-purge setup with the led lights
  • Finish up the LED accent lighting, wire the remote unit
Then done, ready for the riding season.
 
forks off to see whats up with not holding air, made bracket for shift light... bout all.
 
Ordered a set of progressive front springs to go with my yet to be installed Ricor Intimidators.

Ordered a set of solid motor mounts.

Still have my new Galfer brake and clutch lines to install along with Kurkian ISO grips. Still waiting on a drag bar.

Now if I can just get the time to install all of this stuff.
 
Finished up the front. and final install of the tail section. All I have to do is mount the pillion pad and wire the tail up then scratch it off the list.

Found a nice place to mound the purge solenoid. Under the headlights using the old headlight mounting. That way the dual fog will shoot out the right and left sides of the front.

Its starting to come together, here are a few pictures. My shift light hasn't come in yet, so I mocked up that area using my helmet cam. The mount will be different but now you guys will get the visual, just imagine the double fighter scoops, bellypan and wheels back on it.

Both headlights will be on when its in high-beam mode, just the bottom lit up in low-beam.

Thanks broham, it's getting there.
Damn KJ, you've been busy!

Looking good my friend, gonna be one nice looking streetfighter.

Now I'm starting the get anxious for the rest of my parts to come in. Kinda like getting closer to finishing the jigsaw puzzle. Then I can let the wallet rest and get some more money in the supercharger fund.
