Re:What did you do to your RS today? 5 Years, 11 Months ago  
Well, I did not necessarily do anything today but, over the last few months there have been some upgrades such as: mustang seat, samson warlords, luggage rack, sissybar bag, and some yamaha hard bags. I feel like I got a real good deal on the hard ags and have to share. $450 brand new on eBay. Compared to the yamaha site (which everything is just outrageous) they were cheap. Anyways, here is a pic.

That tour pack mounting bracket is looking real nice!!! We might have to meet up so I can get one fabricated. Did you get the support arms from Ultrastar?

Ok, well..not just what was done today, but over the past two months. Finally everything put back together and working correctly! So, I had the tins painted Dupont Hot Rod Black, relocated fuel pump to under seat, made a bracket for choke to mount to, added Baron Customs square marker lights front and back, added Kuryakyn Transformer grips, added Kuryakyn Kaiser pegs to highway bar, oil changed, new brake pads front and back, and a beautiful Beehive tail light to the rear. I think thats most of it anyway. Heres a couple pics of new paint and that awesome beehive.

That beehive light is top drawer brother!!!! I really like the retro look with that and the square turn signals! You have my vote for best taillights to date! I'm blown away! Where can I get my hands on one of them?

Thanks, BigCountry. The beehive is a reproduction that I bought at BKRider.com. I had to drill a couple of holes, but the placement of it covers up all the other stock holes in the fender. I did have to switch out the wiring to go from a stop only light to a run/stop light. I really love the look of the light setup, and the fact that I haven't saw any other Roadie with a similiar setup.

Kai, what kind of engine guards are you running? Looking at getting the JTD hard lowers and want to make sure they will fit whatever bar I order.

Thanks


ozarkpreacher, I believe mine are from MC Enterprises. I bought it on ebay. If you talk to the owner of JTD lowers he could probably give you more guidance in a better fitting engine guard. Look at the Cobra freeway bars. Kai


Thanks, I asked you this question again on another thread before I saw that you had answered here. Yours look like the same one I am looking at on e-bay for $80.00.
