Some people have discouraged my updates to my bike as they called it an abomination. I call it modding and I love projects. Back in January, I had an accident on the bike crashing after a woman cut me off in traffic and claimed to not see me. Police didn't do anything and so I was left with the repairs to the bike...
When you see damages to equipment you immediately look at solutions to designs to help protect from future damage. the list below is what I've done to this point to bring the bike to functioning order and with upgrades.
Damaged parts - Now upgraded since they were already busted... total cost $300
and the list of the other upgrades and changes I made... total of about $423
I'll post pictures soon to this thread but the bike runs great, climbs well and stands out from everything on the road.
