Well, I've been enjoying riding the bike and not posting. Most recent update here:
I have had a dash panel made, which houses the tach/speedo nicely and otherwise "closes up" the front end from seeing most of the controls run behind the headlight.
I've also designed some new brackets to mount the headlight, removing the fork tube clamps. I much prefer the cleanliness of this solution.
A pair of horns are now mounted in front of the airbox, rounding out all the usual controls/equipment you would expect to have.
The r9t fender is mounted with some custom brackets as well.
At this point my list from my original post is complete. Only a couple news items have popped up that I'll want to add:
- Heated Grips
- Some form of rear fender to prevent spray into the rear of the frame/engine area
Additionally I do have a set of K75 pistons that I had sent out for ceramic and friction coatings, as well as a K1100 crankshaft that I will install after they are balanced as a set.
