Default My first small "modification"

True it is cosmetic but it does serve a purpose, somewhat. It adds visiblity at least! And um...it individualizes the bike and...it heightens its personal appeal to me, hehe.

So I decided to add some retroflective vinyl decals to my bike, so I'll be more visible at night.

Picture before the project

Rimstripe

Upper fairing decals

Lower fairing decals

Completed upper fairing

She glows at night

Not exactly done. The front wheel rimstripe still needs to be put on (lacking a stand this is gonna be hard) and the front fairing decals haven't been shaped yet. I decided to stay true to the stock Kawasaki tribal decals design.

Not yet sir. I only have the center stand and no front wheel stand. Some guy said to use a car jack? I think he was pulling my leg on that one so I'll probably just do it very carefully on the front.

Don't be to quick to ditch the Dunlop’s, the 208 series tire is dam good one, I do admit I like the Michelin better though.

Watch out the moding can be very addicting, but fun.

Do you have anyone that could sit on the back of the bike while its up on the centre stand? That would get the front wheel up for ya.

BTW, bike looks awesome Toad!

Thanks bluebird

Guess I can bribe one of my friends to sit on the bike and lift her up a bit. A few beers and a pack of smokes should do it.
