CCW tha Heist

Kevin I love the Shitwizard logo haha! Is that vinyl, do you have a plotter to cut that stuff out?

Also how did those coils work out, any good.

Ok here's a Photoshop of the direction I'm going. This is what I had in mind when I first saw the bike. Chopped rear and no front fender, lift the tank, some Biltwell Windows bars, get rid of the signals, wrap pipe etc. I have the bars on order, a really curved seat pan and some hair pin springs plus some other stuff coming.

I think I'm going to go with a gold metal flake instead of the green. That won't happen until the winter though.

JK3 - Looks good man. What's your plan to raise the tank? Weld mounting tabs onto the frame?

Nice photochop! Fun to see how the real turns out compared to it.

JK3 - The coil is good. No big groundbreaking improvement but it works. I think the stock stuff is good for what it is. As things start to go replace with better quality.

The new coil had a different mount and ground wire setup so it wasn't a straight bolt-on. I have to do a write up.

I did switch out to an irridium plug as well. The bike ran and idled decently before, now with the coil, wire and plug it feels a little more refined but I can't honestly say it's worth all the $$$. I am running the NGK DRP8EA-9 plug with a larger gap than stock. The shop I picked i up from recommended not gapping the irridiums. Comes set at .8, not too far out from the .6 I had been running.

Bike still runs strong all the way past 80mph. Just a bit more refined or smoother but it may just be in my head lol.

Thanks Kevin that's some good info. Nothing wrong with having a good solid spark. Whats the stock equivalent for an NGK plug, I still have the stocker in there?

I don't know how you guys are hitting those speeds, I know my speedo is waaay off but I just cant see my bike going that fast the way it runs now. She's still popping during downshifting, I richened it up and runs a little better.

SDM, you could cut off the tabs for the tank and just flip them to the top. For now I think I'll just make some brackets that extend upwards from the stock position. May have to move the fuel bung to the back of the tank though, too bad I can't weld. I'd hate to have the thing ripped apart during the summer, most of this stuff won't happen till winter.

NGK D8EA-9 is the stocker... available locally for a couple bucks. Gapped mine at .6 and it ran great.

Cool thanks Kevin, I appreciate it. Just talked to the Weave and I'll be bringing the bike to the shop next week for a tune and good going over.

Hey guys, well today was a good day, minus not being able to ride due to weather. But I got a straight pipe exhaust for free from a guy at work and everything lines up minus the bracket for the frame. Will have to cut old bracket and weld up a new one. Also, got the 1 gallon compressor tank from work so will try to mod that up sometime soon for a new electronics tin. Also got some free tools but no need to go into that :icon10:

Finally don't have anything to do this weekend so am hoping to get the new bracket for exhaust welded up, turn signals put on, and fabricate a hitch mounted carrier. Will try to post pictures when done but at the moment the camera is not working so we will see. I am also trying to find a good half helmet without the mushroom head look...any advice? pictures would be nice, to see how it looks on someone.

Does anybody know if original bolts/nuts are available anywhere? Accidently forgot to tighten down a few and they came off when riding.

P- Nuts and bolts are available in the metric section of the local hardware store. WOuldn't hurt to swap out for stainless bits. While there grab some locktite blue!

Kev, I have been to all local hardware stores and the big Lowes/HomeDepot but they dont always have what I need. I have locktite but just forgot to put it on the bolts because it was in the house and not with my tools.
