First off a few rules:

1. Only post pics of your bike here (nobody else's), and a quick run down of the mods you made.

2. You must have changed more than 3 major items jets, air filters, tires, mirrors etc don't count - examples would be wheels, seat, header pipes, paint etc.

3. Your mods should result in a significantly non-stock look

4. I reserve the right to delete any that I consider don't meet the standard above- currently I only know of a handful of bikes that would fit these requirements.

OK first off I will start with mine:

Mods:
<UL><LI>Cutom rear fender / plate mount.<LI>Monster rear light<LI>Daytona indicators with clear lenses<LI>TBS solo seat<LI>TBS headers and TOR mufflers<LI>TBS rear subframe<LI>TBS rear shock<LI>Kawasaki ZRX1200R Wheels, front forks and front brake<LI>Trophy rear caliper, ZRX1200R rear rotor<LI>TBS rearsets with modified Daytona pegs, gearshift linkage converted to restore normal shift pattern.<LI>Daytona 600 horn<LI>Mecatwin airbox covers<LI>TBS centerstand<LI>Monza flip top fuel cap<LI>Flanders bars<LI>Speed 3 guages<LI>Daytona bar grips<LI>CRG billet mirrors<LI>TBS front mudguard - modified to fit ZRX forks<LI>GSXR750 radial brake master cylinder<LI>Kawasaki Zx7r clutch master cylinder<LI>Stock headlight mounts painted black<LI>Sprint steering damper<LI>TBS side covers and keylocked seat<LI>Kawasaki black adjustable levers<LI>Adventurer kneepads<LI>TBS kickstand<LI>Kawasaki ZRX1100 vacuum petcock (modified)[/list]

My '98 Thunderbird Adventure Sport Speed Tourer

I have not had it out for a good photo shoot.

Speed Triple Gauges
Omar's Bikini Fairing (modified)
Custom made front turn signal mounting bracket
Eliminated rear turn signal stalks
Custom made headlight mounting tubes (fork tube covers)
- Effectifely moves the headlight up about 1 1/4 inch in order to get the fairing to line up the way I wanted.
D&D exhaust from 2000 and newer TBS
- Required custom mounting bracket
'02 TBird Rear Fender
- I never liked that License light on the original fender.
'96 Adventurer headlight bucket
- Allows more clearance for the speedo cable to stop the bouncing needle, necessary when moving the headlight upward
Thunderbird Tank Badges
And of course that wonderful paint job.
- The paint was done by none other than our own Hinckley. O and if you want a paint job by him, you must let him ride your bike through a puddle of spilled oil on Happy Valley Road during a rainstorm first.
Triumph accessory Cowl seat for usual riding.
Triumph accessory Passenger peg removal kit.
Rick Mayer Touring seat for long distance rides.
Ventura Rack System, Kinda Ugly, but very Functional.
Starcom Communications system
Permanant Dual Controller for Gerbings Heated Gear

More to come. Looks like some little improvements to the brakes are next since the original rotors are almost worn out.

Well, the older pics of the metamorphosis of my Legend are in my album.

Prior to the current strip down, I had:

TBS Complete front end.
Meriden UK Spec Bonneville handlebars.
Thunderbird Tank.
TBS faux air filters ( covers)
Meriden 'Trident' logo on sidepanel
Converted Campbell Raygun silencers on Tiger downpipes.
'69 BSA / Triumph alloy rear lamp.

Things are in big lumps at the moment, with a view to including.

Trophy air box, pistons & cams.
Daytona Igniter box.
Braced Legend rear sub-frame.
Trident swing arm
TBS Rear suspension unit.

I just love the modular T3s....They are a 'Build Yourself A Bike U Like' Kit!

Is this enough to qualify? :wink:

Nige

:-D

Here is my TBS with Daytona forks, front fender, wheels, clutch and brake master cylinders and brake and clutch levers, also Progressive fork springs all adding up to an amazing difference in handing. Bagster seat, the best seat I've ever used. Predator exhaust, great sound, not too loud but a little deeper. Lots of other minor stuff like chopped rear fender, satin black tank, L.E.D. indicators and rear tail light. Stainless steel drag bars. Billet aluminium pegs. Scottoiler. National Cycle fly screen. GenMar risers and finally black mirrors from Sprint Manufacturing

Persoanlly I think you would have problems with anything much wider than a 180 - it would require moving the centerline of the wheels to the right and could upset the balance of the bike.
