I just asked the wifey. She indicated a 'no'..... or she was saluting me..... not sure. I left the room. :blink:

Nice.
Stay out of trouble on that thing.

How frreaking wide is that back tire?
It's a 240. It's sorta interesting blazing through the twisties.............. :dribble:

 
Very nice!

I have to ask; What have you got going on with the FJR windshield?

I can't quite tell what is going on there.

 
It's the Yamaha touring windshield. I spray painted the inside black to the point where it sorta kinda matches up with the side windscreens (they're bolted to the shelf above the dash). The black hides the radar detector, satellite radio & gps.... kinda.

Here's a better picture.

Thanks, all. As I've explained before, this project runs a fine line between bling & 'twisty fun'.

Some things were tried & kept; some things were tried & rejected.

Fun project............. not counting the time & money.

Fine line on the bling, suuureeee.... <sir mix a lot baby got back in the background>

The bike handled better in the mountains when stock.

Actually, for me anyway, it's a push. The bike is much lighter now, the suspension is set up for the mods, and the rear tire makes it easier to change directions rapidly (240 pop up effect). What does hurt a bit is the nearly 200 hp at the rear wheel. At times, the front wheel tends to rise up! :dribble: The wheel base is only 4.5" longer.

 
That bike is gorgeous.

As anal as I am about keeping my bikes clean.............I just can't imagine trying to keep the wheels, swingarm, etc looking good. It would drive me crazy.

As I said before, that bike is beautiful. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
More! I took it out today for a shakedown run. It was nice! :D

Very tastefully done. Good thought using just 4.5" extend. Proportions correct. When can I ride it? LOL
