so i dont have a final vision for the bike, but there are a few things i want to just throw out there for my future memory, and for you guys to comment on or give suggestions.
- the new front end is already modified for proper 7/8" bars such as Renthal or similar. i was going to use clip ons initially but this one already has the clamps. im not a huge fan of dirtbike style renthal bars. someone suggested to me just get them and flip them upside down. i mocked up a mountain bike bar and i did not like it. so i think i might try and find some "clubman" style bars and flip them, similar to whats on my kawasaki. thoughts?
- i plan on using the MNNTHBX rear turtlehead brake light on the bike. anyone whos into ruckus or groms should know what im talking about. super clean and really bright LED strip light with running, brake and turn signals all intigrated. that being said, im at a cross roads on what to use up front. i have some regular LED turn signals, but that is so.... new? if you know what i mean. i have fallen in love with these bar end turn signals, but then that would mean i can't run bar end mirrors... suggestions?
- im wanting a very very very clean bike. hide as many wires as i can, tuck everything, etc etc. that being said i want this bike to be legal, safe, and rider friendly. so when it comes to controls, im trying to decide what to do. i want to go brand new because why not. i could try and source something OEM like a gsxr, but that is chunky. i could go ebay, but then thats....ebay quality... so i have found a few sites selling "mini switches" like this..
my issue with that is that if you let your buddy jump on the bike, your going to have to explain what those buttons are. if someone cuts him off and he needs to use the horn, you dont want him fumbling around trying to figure out what the fuck does what.
then i found these! clean, discreet, and hopefully i can find a matching set for the right with ignition, kill switch etc
so im not totally decided on the final vision of the project. i know some features i want and a rough shape. but i want to keep it loose and let the bike design itself to a point
...but then i came across these. continental tkc 80, which they make in a sportbike size of 120/70/17 and 180/55/17. i think i just found what i want this bike to be. an everything tool that i could also go blasting on FSR's with
