So I only got to ride twice last year, because of alot of personal stuff, so I made myself the promise that I would fix my bike up this year so I could get out this summer. My bike's name is Ugly Betty, and since alot of people think fighters are hideous, this is my Uglier Betty thread.
Got the bike down to the basement (easier than I thought) and got it strung up for disassembly.
Original plan was to do a 1100 swap aswell, but In all honestly I'd rather spend the money on my Nova, whom needs a motor way more, so this is my Fighter Build.
This was her when I bought
her.
This is her after some mods a year or two ago
- new tires, brakes, turn signals, fender chop and one off plate mount and signal mount, one off led plate light, solo cowl, tune up, grips, levers led gauge lights, 12v outlet, fog lights, brake lens tint, new bar ends ( uncrewed and fell off on high way) seat revocer with marine grade vinyl and That's all I can think of.
and this is her as of last night.
I don't do well with planning thing out exactly, I prefer to let things work out organically. With that idea, I am going to fighter it, but I don't know exactly what yet.
Only real plans are to do needed maintenance while it is apart.
Chain, Sprockets, adjust valves, fork oil, carb synch, pads and rotors all around, new brake lines, newer F+R master, Some kind of different headlight, custom gauge mount, and some kind of back half of the frame, well see how it pans out. Also going to utilize the stock exhaust system (do the ports) and have a true dual dump (with internal baffles for BP),
If anyone can suggest brands for the parts I am going to be replacing, it would be much appreciated. Everybody needs some help.
So hopefully I can spend more time here now that I am starting this project, I been spending all my time on the other forums I belong to and lurking here once in a while.

PS once I make some progress, mostly to the point where I can't turn back, items that will not be reused will be sold (THEY AR NOT FOR SALE NOW, this is just a heads up to keep on the look out)
Likely list of parts are to include - rear, upper and lower fairings, one extra right fairing bought to replace current one, but obviously not gonna use, front plastic piece under head light, solo cowl w/ pad (cover in black vinyl), stock back seat (covered the same), stock back grab bar, stock head light, stock tail light (slightly tinted - see pic), one off plate mount, and signal holder for rear, post 98 4 to 1 header, ( I never used, bought off a bike with like 1000 miles), after market turn signal mirrors, maybe more depending on what I do. Again, just a heads up, nothing for sale yet.
