Not Safe For Work
Some of you have done this on an ad hoc basis, I see, but this seems like an IDEAL thing to build a tech day around. A couple or three hole saws, a bulk pack of dremel blades (and a couple-three dremels), one or two already-done Trooper-Modded bikes to "sell" the doubters with, all that expertise assembled--anybody around here interested in being involved in something like that? I see Roger is our (maybe only) local Trooper pioneer. There'd be big demand for your presence, Rog. Add to this thread if you'd be interested, NorCal.
The other question that came up for me is: with California being the only oddball state with its own requirements to even sell a freaking motorcycle (although we don't have annual motorcycle inspections--yet--thank god), how would this mod impact our tight-assed local requirements for exhaust, etc? As I recall, even the sale of a m/c here doesn't require any kind of state inspection, right?
Anyway, I'm pretty jazzed about doing this now, after reading through the thread for the first time. Good contribution to the forum, Trooper.

You always put oil on your drill bits and saw blades when cutting metal, right? And keep them well oiled? High school metal shop."I'm about 3/4 way through this and it has been quite the pain in the ass. . . everything was red hot and my drill was smoking a little. . ."
