Nah just mods I guess, I probably should have been more to the point.
But that can be in the next poll.

Because my 'bird is all stock, I only have to buy maintenance items. So far, then, it's been under $1,000 in my 1.5 years of ownership.

It's kinda like MTV.. too much is never enough (Back when MTV actually played music and Martha Quinn was still a VJ.. YUMMY.. but I digress)

Racetech fork springs

Sidewinder sprocket rear

On the 97, I had to re-assemble/build it (Clear title, though!)
Rebuilding stuff:
Came to me needing an upper fairing (or the one I did get needed fixed), an upper fairing stay, wiring harness needed to be spliced, and the rear rim was dented. Center V cowl was missing a connection point. Rhinoliner was sprayed on the lowers and mirror covers.
I picked up a polished rear rim from a .org board member, and a fairing stay from University Motors, and a V Cowl from Scot (although eventually I found one on Ebay and sent it to him once he decided to rebuild his XX)
Farkles/Extra stuff:
I picked up a set of lowers on Ebay. They are off being painted right now (Thanks Anna, I have decals now!) Still need to get a set of mirror covers for it, though.
Carbon Fiber look levers
Came with a Yosh 4-1 system and K/N filter.
Center Stem Mount (Thanks Mack!)
XM/Passport Wiring
DualStar Heated Grips - No heat troller.

Eventually gonna be doing Powder Coating.. I have a spare swingarm and will be powdercoating it black, along with all of the footpeg/heel mounts and rear sets.

Come on guys, post some pics! Look at the descriptions of hobious, john01xx, canadianbird, and many others. You guys have done big mods, but no pics? Show every one what the finished product looks like. Take a couple good pics and get em on here. Better yet, do a tech article with before, during, and after pics. You know how bad most instructions are written, and we all usually find a better way. Pull em out and show em to everyone!

Confession, I don't know how to post a pic. I have spent $8,000+ on mods not counting labour. I value my ride, for insurance purposes at $15,000. When I get my daughter to fill me in on how to post pics, and the latest mods are installed, I'll do it. The Penske, springs, braided hoses are not installed. I'm waiting till March cause it's gona cost a bit. I don't ride at night but will install HID's in the fall, after I cut some cupons.I don't do much bling just comfort and performance. But I do have every receipt for every penny I've spent on my Bird. I keep a big binder and in it is the original bill of sale, 1st service and every service and mod since new. Also every article written on the Bird(Brit Mags) since I bought it in '02. The big Honda model booklet the put out in '02, all in plastic folders. Yes, I'm anal over my ride and my record keeping. My wife does not "bitch" on me for what I spend on my ride. I spoil her anyway and she has no reason to "bitch me out. She's getting a new car this year and I just | |
