Some of you know the story of me crunching my Multi last fall.
Well, after quite a few delays (caused by a certain person re: the frame) I have it all together and just got back from a 7 day road trip.
The bike ran great, got better mileage than ever!
I ditched the original tail section. I cut off the brackets on the back of the frame, then welded new ones on for a 1098 taillamp and a tailpiece I fabricated from fibreglass.
I have Leo Vince exhaust on it and it sounds fantastic! Plus I think it looks pretty cool all exposed.
I put some custom turnsignal/taillamps in the little recess where the bodywork originally fit into. I still need to fabricate some lenses- but I had time off and wanted to ride!
I'm also going to customize the front end, I have a large lamp I'm installing instead of the stock one.
A few other goodies:
Accessory fusebox on right frame, with cutout into the glovebox.
MixIt audio mixer for radar/Zumo into bluetooth dongle (in glovebox also)
Heat conrols for grips and gear- along with a voltmeter in one box (still need to make new bracket).
PowerCard- need new bracket for that also.
Building new O2 meter- I had an old large one temporarily mounted. Used to setup the PowerCard.
'Roamer' Zumo mount
Valentine1 mounted beside headlamp (hidden).
Remote display and audio control- need to fab new box for those still.
ProOiler, mounted under passenger seat.
Dual Star grip heaters
Rizoma bars with 1100 tripples
Oh yeah, I lapped the valves, cleaned up the ports a little, installed MBP collets (two factory ones were broken), plus the other usual service stuff.
The tail section is quick release- I made a aluminum 'floor' for that and have some tools stashed in there. Like a little air compressor and flat kit.
I'll try and post some pics when I actually get everything done I'm planning. But for now I want to ride it!
