Let the Modding Begin

The modding of the R1 began on Sunday. This weekend Lee and I took of the rear pillion footpegs and fitted a nice black powdercoated exhaust hanger (*thanks for the freebie Sean!*) with about $4 of shiny new bolts that took about an hour to find. The Power Commander map was also looked at and that might be getting some tweaking in the next week or so.

Before, with rear pillion pegs

After, with new exhaust hanger

And the other side

Next step is to buy a rear seat cowl to officially make it a single seater. Other things that may be in the works are; black rearsets, new oggy knobs (already ordered), maybe a new chain guard (cos the one I have is cracked), bar end mirrors... we'll see how much money I end up with. The 400 still needs a little love too. Oggy knobs for that are also ordered, and she'll need a polish up and new indicators and mirrors and she'll be Mickey Mouse!
