TRMN8TR Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 So after it was all stripped down, started putting things back together. My favorite part of the whole build, this bit of titanium that's like a piece of art. I've never actually worked with titanium before, and man is this crap light!And a lot of other parts sourced mostly from Riders Discount. Attack Performance rearsets. Love these things, one of the only rearsets on the market that you can switch to GP shift, keep the shift shaft going through the frame, and works with the factory quickshifter. Plus they look sweet too.New 520 chain and a few different sprockets so I can mess with gearing changes, and GB racing chain guard:GB racing engine covers all around:Apex GP clip ons, took a bit of work to get them to fit right:And bodywork has been drilled and mounted. Off to paint next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 And last because I am super anal/OCD, I started modifying the wiring harness to get rid of all the extra crap I don't need anymore. So far I got rid of all the connectors and wiring to the EPA crap, exhaust exup valve, O2 sensor, and kickstand switch. I plan to remove the wires, connectors, and relays for headlights, turn signals, tail lights, horn, etc. and anything else that gets in my way. Putting the upper fairing on is a bit of a pain, all the fuses/relays get in the way. So any relays still needed and the fuse box itself are getting relocated to under the tank. I don't need this crap:Spaghetti: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Very nice, gonna get the fairing attack painted?Probably not, only cause I'd have to drive to Columbus to drop them off, and then back to pick them up. I have a local guy who did a nice job on another set I had painted. Considering using him or possibly trying to paint them myself. I think jbot has access to a paint booth.

TRMN8TR Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 So not much to update, I'm working on this exhaust for jbot. Once I finish it we are going to take the bikes to Hord Power for custom tunes. Lucky for us, he tunes with TuneECU which is a free software you can tune with and it flashes the ECU. No Power Commander/TuneBoy/Bazzaz needed. Cut off the stock merge collector, exup valve, and cat. Gonna weld in a custom 3-1 merge collector and straight pipe to make a "race" header. Interested to see the results of his bike with my custom exhaust vs. mine with a full Arrow. I've made a few of these exhausts for the 675, and the last guy I made one for gained about 7-8 hp and 3-4 ft/lbs with the exhaust and a tune. Welding on the bullet vanes inside the merge collector. Merge collector welded on, alongside all the junk that was cut out. Just need to fit it on the bike and weld in the straight section and it's done.

blue03636 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I need to get my header to you. I would like to get it done before the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think I can manage that, if you don't have a chance to come up before then, bring it to the first round. I think there's almost a month between round 1 and 2, that should be plenty of time for me to get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need to get another pipe as I'm short one and the next few weeks will be crazy with school finishing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
