well im back from Afghanistan and loving my bike, its an absolute beast! Anyway I've added some mods now to make it a lil more trick, still thinking of powdercoating the pillion pegs and rearsets, been offered a really good price by people who actually know what they're doing!

Anyway mods Ive installed are obviously a Yoshi RS-5 Carbon with the Yoshi plate hanger, ive taken the small plate off and put the big "legal" one back on cos im looking at taking the bike to europe for a trip, also taken the ugly stock rear indicators off and installed led replacements. Ive installed a power commander 3 but have not programmed it yet, going to test it before and after when i got the time to see the difference. also added rim tape to add a bit of bling. My pyramid hugger which is CLASS and halfway through installing a Sprint SXC steering damper, got the bracket on but need to get hold of a torque wrench to install it onto the headstock...well tell me what you think and if it dont look good then tell me...my fave thing apart from the ridiculously good sounding yoshi are the rear indicators...i think they're wicked...

All the pics are on my profile but cant seem to get them to work from links arg =/

Props.
Welcome back.
I like what you got going here.

You might think about powdercoating the bracket under the can also.
Sweet Yoshi sweatband.:devious

Alright mate, im also liking the the mods, are u getting all your stuff from your neck of the woods. I am looking into powder coating my rear pegs and the gear linkage and brake pedals, u said you know some people who know what they are doing, have u got prices and timelines?? I will be in wales next weekend wouldnt mind seeing some of the places where u are getting yr stuff done.. cheers taff.

good shout steve, i will indeed, apparently rather than buyin the euro plate u can get a lil blue sticker from halfords for bout a quid hehe

raized, man after my own heart! im defo gunna make the plate hanger black, will prolly go in same time as pillion pegs and rearsets if i get them done, might leave them silver, or get them same colour as calipers and forks

taff, theres a place just outside of cardiff that does it. they said for both pillion pegs and rearsets it would be £35 but to give them a week which isnt very quick...but cheap! most of my bits are ebay tbh...even the bike! haha managed to get the can, PCIII and steering damper off of same bloke who was seeling the remainder of his bike after he threw it down the road, they're all in good nick tho. and the indicators are Oxford Jupiter...by far the nicest i thought and bloody bright! plus i dont like intergrated flashers and tailight cos they're not clear enough which way u wanna go!

and thanks for the compliments! ill get a pic up of my damper when its on...prolly tomorrow if its dry. Also gotta do the dual-headlight mod...ill get that sorted too! then maybe even have enough time to ride the thing! haha

I like the can but it can only find it on yank sites and it isnt cheap, what about the plate hanger was that an ebay special?? I was kinda hoping that u had a magical shop with all the bits in so i could come down and get mine finished off!!

 

[PHo]

i do have a magical shop with all the bits in....ebay =], the hanger came with the can. the can sounds so bloody mean its unreal, if we were to do this meet u can hear it then ;-)

Another option to consider in addition to powder coating your rear sets and passenger pegs is to have them hard anodized.
