My Heist the Widow

Well i posted some stuff on the MCM board but i wanted to share with you guys as well.

I spent the day at PITMotorsLTD in NJ putting the bike together making mods and customizing her
All in all 8 hours of work, definitely a labor of love. but the Bike is ready and was ridden and being delivered on Wed or Thursday this week.

the bike named itself the Widow, it fits the bike. loaded a bunch of stuff on youtube and pics on photobucket.

Let me know what you think



<-- clicky clicky

You already know what I think. 8)

It looks like you chopped the rear fender and removed the front. It also looks like you put a new megaphone-style exhaust on it. It looks and sounds great!

actually the rear fender is still stock till I get around to fabricating a vertical side mount plate/light holder. I actually have a custom bikini fender in the front and the exhaust was modified from the original stock exhaust

I think you're right, Doc. I hadn't noticed that before.

gardo, I think the good doctor is recommending a smog-ectomy.

Fabricate a blocking plate of some sort and toss the entire tumor.

Assuming that NJ does not do motorcycle emission inspections then...
You do not want a filter on the port by the exhaust where the air is injected in by the smog pump (Secondary Air Injection)but a plate like the good doctor suggested.

When you remove the pump you also will need a cap like the blue one shown in the photo.
