In addition to the NARK, here's what I've got in progress:
- Lowering and "snugging up" the front of my seat to better match the contour of the tank (got my hardware - tonight?)
- Red cam covers (finally picked up a rubber mallet to crack the originals loose).
- Larger/shallower headlight w/ "Tommaselli" style brackets
- Riser mount mini speedo
- Relocating the regulator to the frame front downtubes (above the oil cooler, where the horn currently resides) or somewhere else less conspicuous.
- After the NARK kit is installed, if I choose to run the sidecovers I'll either be painting them white to match the upper part of the tank/fenders (and re-lettering in red w/ gold outline) or painting them and the fenders red to match the lower part of the tank - but that'll probably wait for Winter. If I choose not to run the sidecovers I'll probably paint the battery box and clean up/relocate the electrical "stuff" to under the seat. I'll have to wait till I see it in to decide.
Later:
- Upgraded suspension/brakes
- Mikunis/Wiseco/Headwork & (maybe) TB cams
- More safety gear and a cot in the garage for when my wife finally gets fed up. 
I'm also gonna put at least 2k miles on in June camping my way around Lake Superior, so new tires will probably be needed soon too!  |
It's as if you read my mind, but it seems you have the practical knowledge i lack
Love the front light idea, saw something like that on the bike Deus au built, something I have wanted to do to my own machine. Same with the mini speedo.
I plan to paint my scrambler tank Orange with black detailing and then...
- MAS front and rear ali fenders [maybe painted black]
- Black Powder coated rear Lucas tail light
- Mini Speedo
- NARK with side covers off.
- D&D exhaust with all the guards removed and then the pipe wrapped in heat wrap
all a bit of a pipe dream, but younever know i might get around to it!
