I want to wait until mine is complete before I show it again so I can relate to the picture shyness..... |
Tweety,
I really,really,really like your bike. Your suspension mods are first class and in my opinion will transform a great engine/moderate chassis/cheap suspended and braked bike,into a very competent machine.Its the kind of bike where I would use Jesus as a brake marker,ride hard till you see Jesus then BRAKE!! Enjoy it..... |
WOW! How hard was it to get the swing arm on there? I would love to do that. I can't stand the SH swing arm.
|
So close last month! i am throwing the hat in the ring again!
Here is mine: Name: Anthony Woods (RedVTR1000) Year:1998 Color: GM Arctic White Mods: Micron Dual low mounts, 43/15 sprockets, zero gravity double bubble wind screen, clear tail, dynojet kit http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...m112rs/Nom.jpg |

All tough it should be noted that I re-welded a mount on mine unnecessarily, I figured out the "bolt-on" later...

S**t Howdy, Tweety has my vote now!

tweety, you are the mad, manic, modding machine. Hell a few more mods and it won't be a hawk anymore. Then you'll have to leave us and move onto the "Unofficial OCD Forum For Those With No Impulse Control".
|
Actually as I was taking those pictures out on the lawn my father was sitting with a cup of coffee just outside the shot, trying to figure out what I had left stock so far...
He came up with a rather short list... The fairings, the radiators (they are stock, only moved them), the tank (on the to do list) and a fair part of the engine block (also on the to do list)... If anyone can think of more parts let me know... I lost count... ;) The Swedish VTR forum/club gave me dispense to be in the club all tough there are less VTR parts than others, just cuz they want to see my next crazy idea...;) |
Ok, since I got my stuff painted, I will give this a go.
Custom Painted, by me, Front Fender and Belly Pan 1998 Italian Red Superhawk Hi-mount Black Aluminum Jardine Exhaust DID 530 Chain Stock Sprockets Haknslash's LED Taillight Mod AEP CCT's Puig Windscreen Flush Mount Front turn signals Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines Everything else I am slowly working on. Sometime along the way, it will be a totally different Superhawk! http://forums.mathewsinc.com/images/...ture_384_1.jpg http://forums.mathewsinc.com/images/...ture_385_1.jpg http://forums.mathewsinc.com/images/...ture_386_1.jpg |

Looks a bit out of place on the VTR to me... |

Hmm... Those diodes up front, how are they used? as low beam or as position light? or just by an on-off switch?

They are used instead of the side light plan to remove the side light and smooth it over. Best bit is a grand total of £5 to do the mod.:D
BTW those indicator LED's on the mirrors... Are these the one's you have used... http://www.radiantz.com |

BTW those indicator LED's on the mirrors... Are these the one's you have used... http://www.radiantz.com They don't just flash they start at the inside of the mirror and light one at a time to the end then start again like a Knight rider type effect. Got noticed a lot.:cool: |
Nice bikes all.
But Tweety, that is a sweet project, right there! |
While I am tempted to vote for RedVTR's bike (red? what?) just because he's got stock signals (and I thought I was the only one), and I'm tempted to vote for VTRSteve's cause it's cool, I have to go for Tweety's bike - so many mods that, if I could swing it, I'd do to mine. Nice bikes all, tho.:draggin:
