Wyoming's new direction/design

[wyomingwarrior]

So after someone tipped my bike over, I recieved a healthy check from insurance, and because I'm doing the work... I choose the parts . This time around I'm inspired by a more "racing" influence. Needless to say, I believe I'm ditching all my spiked parts.

Here's a sneak peak at the redesign so far...

DIY Mods

Hidden clutch cable

Stretched gas tank/ cut seat.

Shaved gas tank seams

Relocated gas tank vents

Brushed all chrome

Starter switch relocation: micro switch under tank

Right side cover: Ignition hidden inside fake NOS bottle

Shaved triple trees

Can't wait to see the outcome.

Are we going to have to wait until spring or will you keep us posted with pics?

[arizonawarrior]

Make it happen Wyoming!

Cool,,,,, You know I was wondering,,, Do you have a heated garage? I never really thought about what people do with their bikes in the wintertime.

I have a "mancave" which is where I`ll do the work.

NJWarrior- I think I`ll wait till spring to post the pics. BUT I don`t think I could keep them to myself for that long so I`ll keep ya`ll posted as I go

I have listed the exhaust, grips, risers, and internal throttle in the classifieds.

That looks like Kyle's swingarm.

[wyomingwarrior]

Gilly's right, it is a pic of Kyle's 280 swing arm. I just shipped out my swing arm and wheel to him yesterday and just got my Metzler 280 as well.

Headlight- is actually an aftermarket Vrod headlight (don't have it yet). I just need to find some 54mm fork clamps that I can modify for some mounting brackets.

I'm going to run an internal twist clutch and therefore needed a small pulley to be machined to attach to the clutch lever to give me a bit of mechanical advantage and I just received a call today that it's finished. Will post pics later.

Exhaust- I was going to sell my modified 3" big straights but when I removed them I noticed when the bike was tipped over, the weld on the lower pipe for the rear hanger tore a hole in the lower pipe. SO... I've decided to chop them more. Here's a pic of the mock up. It's pretty much going to be just straight up "strictly business" attitude. They'll be made the same way I did them orginally.. just shorter and straight. I'm also thinking of painting them with a flat silver/grey header paint.

DISREGARD THE SIDE PLATE!! That was a cool idea in my head but was quickly scrapped after seeing it on the bike lol

I really like that headlight.
What are you gonna do with that birds nest of wires in the stock headlight?
