I wanted to customize my bike just to be a little different than everyone else. Here is the on going progress on the work I'm doing to my ride. |
Modifications previously done: Progressive rear shocks - 11 inch Progressive front springs - lowered 2 inches Mustang seat Samson 2 inch Over/Under pipes K&N filter Cobra jet kit (kept original jets - but used the Cobra needles) |
Modifications in progress/planned Install Harley fork lower sliders, FXST type Install Harley 21 inch front wheel - spoke Install matching calliper Install rear wheel from '88 VT800 - spoke Install 4 gal tank from Honda ACE - custom paint |
I'm old school when it come to bikes. While there are some great bikes out there with modern mag wheels or cast/CNC wheels - my first love is spokes. Even though Honda made a good bike with the VT1100C, I never cared much for the mag wheels. So, time to do something about it... |

Stock front - no changes except internal Progressive springs, lowered two inches. Bought a pair of Showa fork lowers for a Harley FXST. I'll be test fitting them at my brother's house soon - pics to come. |
Basically a stock rear end, except for the new Progressive 11 inch shocks, lowers the rear very nicely. Recently bought a new wheel from a Honda '88 VT800, will swap it in for a test fit. Pictures to come. Also, due to a past experiment with different signals, the holes in the fender will be filled in. And the signals, they sit at a funny angle due to a neighbor hitting my bike with his car (I live in an apartment) Much of the damage has been fixed already. |
