    Default What did you do for your bike today?

    I figured that I would start a thread so guys can post up parts for their builds over winter!

    I'll start the thread off, here are my new bags I bought from Topshop! Getting the Voodoo 8.1 lids and doing a full JL marine audio stereo on the bike. (it's a denim black 2014 street glide special)

    Finally installed my licence plate light that I've been procrastinating on doing ever since installing my undertail kit. Both of my bikes are about as far as I'm taking them now. Nothing else planned.

    Mines just been sitting in the garage with the battery pulled and a cover over it lol

    Hopefully get some new derby covers for it and a new gas cap. That's the extent of my plans for it. Already done everything I've wanted.

    I just wish it was already summer time so I can get some ride time in. Only got about 2k worth of riding since July...

    Removed my tinted screen and installed a clear screen I got from ebay (china)

    Then I removed the stock exhaust and installed a factory OEM triumph off road exhaust.

    Does your plate make contact with your rear tire while riding?

    There is a hinge at the bottom and a roller at the top, as the suspension compresses it angles back and rolls along the bottom side of the tail.

    Damn... that's pretty slick.

    I should have said "make contact with your tire hugger"

    Is that the stock tire hugger on those daytona's or part of the plate kit?

    Tire hugger is stock, looks like the plate holder just uses the same mounting points as the stock hugger to bolt up.

    Cut frame to pull valve cover on a CB750 to replace valve cover gasket. Degreased front of engine as there was no gasket on the valve cover and leaked oil everywhere.

    Re-adjusted shift lever mechanism and swapped out bars to low profile renthals.

    Just waiting on a few gaskets to put a few things back together and then run it again.

    I washed, polished, waxed and rode it around the underground parking lot. In a few weeks when it gets dusty again, rinse and repeat.

    So I changed the bags, instead of the top shop ones, I ordered Voodoo bags, they came in a couple weeks ago, the bike is now in Lloydminster getting them fitted and painted, as well as the stereo installed, I am also changing the bars and slowly getting rid of all the chrome! The guy doing the fitment sent me a couple teaser pics!
