| MODIFICATION HISTORY |
| On this page you can find the things I've done to my ThunderAce to improve performance and looks. It was not done in one night. From the picture on the left until the picture on the right is a time-span of aprox 2.5 years. In my opinion you can better start with the performance modifications such as the upgrading of your suspension en brakes. These will give you a total different bike back. Far better handling and braking. What's the benefit of 'looking' fast if you can't go fast? Especialy on the older Aces the rebuild of your rearshock is a necesity. The rear shock is practically worn out at 20.000 km! My last modification was the installation of a PRO-OILER. It does the same job as a Scot-oiler, only millions of times better without making a mess of your rear-wheel. |
