Chopped and installed lights. Tie wrapped in place for now:
You can see I also shortened the windshield and painted the inside black. I need to shorten a bit more on the edges…
Had to relocate the plate to the side – every time i hit a bump, the plate hit the tire and bent up… notice no paint on the middle #.
The wheels are powder coated with new Michelin’s on them. They look awesome and will soon be on the black Connie.
Got to test out the power mod – amazing difference, I must say! Definitely made a difference in power. Plus now it starts better, idles better and the handle bars don’t seem to vibrate as much (which connies are notorious for).
Pretty damn happy overall!
I did a power mod on the 87 Connie and took it for a rip – made a noticeable difference. I corrected the mod on the 94, but it started raining. I’ll take it out once the roads are dry again.
I had a KLR for a while. Loved it! It was a wheelie machine! However I took it up to Ardbeg and found it was just too big and heavy for that type of use. I have the XR200 that’ll be better for that application (once I get around to spending some quality time with it).
A KLR would be awesome for back roads though!
I almost killed myself on a GS1100 – racing a Supra Turbo (which I beat), then promptly went into a speed wobble at 220km/h. Pretty much thought I was a goner… But held on and rode through it – lived to tell the tale….
