          • Another rainy day here on the Cape Soo I finally got around to finish doing my Vortex clip-ons . I never removed the OEM bars and replaced them with the clip-ons . The clip-ons are so light compared to the OEM and with no bar weights . I will find out if I like them 2 morrow . When the weather gets nicer . I hope they aren't too vibey. OH yea I also replaced the grips with some I got FREE with Fast Bikes Mag. a cpl years back

                Where did you get the carbon fiber around your gauges and at the top of the forks? Is that a kit? If it is, where did you get it from? Please give me as much info about this as you can, including price and labor involved. Please let me know. It will be much appreciated. Thanks.

                • I purchased the CF for the gauge cluster from :http://www.fibre-lyte.co.uk/fl/fl_motorbikes.html

                  / I purchased the carbon fiber from : http://dragonplate.com/ecart/categories.asp?cID=3#
                  and I purchased all the bolt hardware from my local hardware store : polished ss cap bolts etc. / clear silicon to help seat the CF on the yoke along with the bolts / washers . Since my bike is a 750 and I needed to remove the OEM bar risers so that I could install the Vortex clip-ons

                          • Yesterday..

                            Slapped my carbs back on to see if she fires. First I noticed the petcock leaking from the part that is screwed together. The screws were loose so i blue lock tighted them. Then i noticed the #3 carb was leaking gas and made a note to fix the float height.
                            Then she cranked and cranked and cranked. Wondering if I even have spark I busted out my nifty little spark identifier. Nothing while cranking. I started my car to check the tool.. Nothing for 10 seconds then the tools lights up, even a few inches from the wires it was lighting off my car, so the tool works. Back to my bike with it and still nothing. Then a few indications of spark and then nothing.
                            Guess i better start the adventure of finding sparky.
                            I've been wanting to do the coil wiring mod to achieve full battery voltage at the coils but havent done it yet. I also need to find the correct spark plugs cuz they aren't the stock ones in the computer and i have yet to even change them while in my ownership.
