Did some mods today

Savage · 03-17-2007, 10:52 PM

With your guys' advice I changed out my oil to GTX 20W-50 today. Started drilling out my skid plate but broke my hole saw so I'll finish that sucker tomorrow.
Painted and bolted on my 50cc scooter rack case. (looks pretty good to me). Chopped off a few inches of my front fender.
Locktighted some bolts and nuts. Put some extra tension on the mono shock. Tightened and lubed the chain and really lubed the swing arm protector as it was really shedding pieces of plastic.

Noticed how restrictive the exhaust is right when it comes out of the engine and makes the 90 degree hairpin. We've got to find a good mandrel bent exhaust to dumps into a purty aluminum muffler with a nice/large outlet.

What other preventative mods should I do?
Thanks!

Indeed, we like pics of exhaust mods!

Savage · 03-18-2007, 08:37 AM

Didn't mod the exhaust but the whole thing needs to go IMHO.

the scoot rack looks good i want to get something like that for mine.

I like it, I think it looks better than the soft trunk I have. But I also like the usefulness of my saddle bags. If I can get one cheap or free I might try mixing and matching.

Got my skidplate drilled out!
Dremeled off the top side of the squares on the handle grips. Much betta!
And got me a Renthal pad coming from ebay.

You don't like the 'auspicious' pad?

liverchip · 03-19-2007, 12:02 AM

Do a forum search for 'auspicious' if you don't get it.

Savage · 03-19-2007, 08:21 AM

I'll just assume it goes along with Cool Boy. It looks so cheesy.

Diggin' the trunk. I use mine everyday. I have the 40L though.

You got it.

mdsuave13 · 03-19-2007, 03:02 PM

speaking of auspicious pads, would anyone like mine? sell it to you cheap, 400000 dollars

actually, have it for free, just pay the shipping.

Its probably the strangest thing i've ever seen on any new vehicle.. haha. well maybe besides the aztek's tent thing on the back (hideous vehicle..)

RENTHAL pad is on. Much better!
Was going to take a cruise around the block last night and heard a screaching when I was pushing it. Luckily I noticed it was one of the rear wheel allen screws coming out. That would of sucked to catch that on the swingarm! Got them locktighted.

Guess I'm going to have to take some more time this weekend and locktight more bolts!

On the way home tonight I took a detour and went thru some muddy ditches. It was fun to finally break the rear end loose and shoot rooster tails going up the ditch hills!
