What Did You Do Today?

[silascopathic_imp]

Changed my bar end mirrors. I like these new ones much better. The can fold in which is nice

Also, I decided to throw a 6000K HID kit in.

It's way brighter. Gonna be great at night.


So what did you all do to your CB?!

Very nice Sil, what light kit did you go with, and where did you mount the ballast?

I worked on my CRF250L. And did some final touches on a small trailer. Yep. Gonna trailer that lil 250 to Colorado and pound some single track and jeep trails in those glorious mountains. I got three weeks off work!

Lets keep this thread rocking! Who else is working on their CB like crazy?! its a sickness!

 

[silascopathic_imp]

I removed my wheels to be powder coated in a metalic root beer color to start my new color scheme. Took about an hour to remove the wheels and take off everything save the bearings and the tires. ( my shop will do that)

[the Ferret]

Wow..that is going to be some transformation methinks.

 

[silascopathic_imp]

Rear Fender Elimination.

 

[Ole]

Is that an ammo can bike jack? Love it!

 

[silascopathic_imp]

hahahaha yea full of m1 garand ammo

 

[Guth_imp]

silascopathic, it looks like you have your handlebars twisted forward quite a ways in the clamps (angling your bar ends and grips upward and forward). Is that for ergonomic reasons or to keep the bar ends from hitting the tank?

Sounds like your CB is in for quite a change here in the near future.

 

[silascopathic_imp]

Guth,

When I was installing the bars I sat on the bike and positioned them where they felt best while riding, so i guess they are that way for ergonomics.

yep i have big plans for this gal, now i gotta find a smaller front fender
