Just wanted to share a few pics of my bike & to start a thread as I progress in modding it. My riding buddies call it the stealth reaper due to it's flat stealth like paint & the reaper skull. Which is fine with me because it always reminds me to treat it with respect or it could take my life.
I recently picked this bike up from my cousin who used it to promote his tattoo/airbrushing business. I stole it for 4k as it had less the 2k on it. Which leaves me some money for some mods. He already had the bike re-sprayed satin black & did some airbrushing on it, but besides that the bike is stock. I already started to make the bike more my own, by putting my spin on it. I always wanted a monster edition, so I'm making a clone version. So far I've done:
-green demon eye headlights, green led running lights
-modded stock rear fender
-monster blade levers, fuel cap, seat skin
-chrome blade heel guards
-spike: triple tree covers, windscreen bolts, sliders, swingarm spools, bar ends, oil cap, front axle
-res caps/covers
-frame plug set
-custom rear pass peg block off plugs
-driven grips
-fat 300 foot pegs
-cycle pirates shift/brake lever
-hid high beams 6k
-voo doo exhaust
-custom black on black decals
and this winter I plan to add:
-monster energy wheelset with vortex sprocket front/rear
-gpr damper
-dynojet PC-V & ignition module, BMC filter & a custom map
-green brake/clutch lines
-muzzy fan
-green ek 530 chain
-lower bike 2"
I don't want to put too much $ into it now as I plan to buy a wider tire swingarm kit, pm wheels & a turbo, but that's still about a season off. This is a bike I plan to keep for the long haul even if I pick up other bikes down the road.
Just did the seat skin today:
and some of the parts are now just starting to arrive for my winter project:
Once, I get it all done I'll break out the good camera & will get some proper pics up. I gotta say I love this bike. I've owned mostly 600's my whole life except for a triumph S3 for a short time & this has been my favorite without a doubt. The only faster bike that I've ridden was a BMW S1000RR that I had for a weekend as part of a demo. I really enjoy the relaxed touring style ergo's of the 14 as I do alot of longer rides so it's perfect for me. I'll prob pick up the BMW too, so I can have the best of both worlds. That's why I bust my hump at work to enjoy myself in my free time on my toys.
I value this forum for the great info here in helping me on my build, thanks!
