Default New Mod!!!!

Ok, I just finished a brand new mod. This one is for all of us out there that aren't Joe Mechanic or Engineer. I am going to call it the "Key Mod".......ooooohhhh, aaaaahhhhhh.

Detail schematics to follow [[img]/emoticons/emotion-4.gif[/img]], but basically I took my spare bike key and ground off all of the plasctic of the end and shaped the metal the way I wanted (btw, shape the side you don't stick in the key hole [[img]/emoticons/emotion-5.gif[/img]]) and I found a little die cast skull and I did a little cutting and grinding to fit my needs and stuck the whole thing together with JB Weld (liquid steel epoxy). Sprayed a little paint on it to blend and that's it. Next week I am going to hand paint some matching blue flames into the skull (to match my warrior, of course)

And to answer the question you are all wondering, Yes it does go faster. I have probably gained 10 horsies with this mod alone.[[img]/emoticons/emotion-2.gif[/img]]

See Sangathor's Bike in the gallery for newly posted pics

hey sangathor i really liked the key idea but was so inspired by the little froggys along side your bike in the pic i have decided to get a little frog to hollow out instead,not sure but i'm guessing if you can get 10 hp out of an old skull...i'm thinking 15 or 20 hp out of a frog,depending on leg length of course.lol

ROTFLMAO, damnit, I didn't see those in the picture. Last time I tried to look cool in a bike picture I had my daughter's doll sitting in the foreground. Oh well, that's what the cropping tool is for.

YES Sangathor please see to it.we can't have people checking out the forum and seeing things like that,had that been on delphi it would have undoubtedly been sensored for being offensive.
have a good day lol

Story of my life Carknee, I'm always just a second too late to board the gravy train.

And hey Neck, he doesn't drool, but he does tear up a little at maximum warp.

Ok, Ok Boogie man, through the magic of Adobe Photoshop I have made the froggies vanish...poof!!

And if you like boogie, I can send you them to mount on your key. I think they would look nice sitting on top of your tach.[[img]/emoticons/emotion-4.gif[/img]]

speaking of letting your pet ride. i have 2 English Bulls that like to ride. on my intruder, I made a bra to fit over the tankm for traction and to protect the paint, but it still scratched it up a bit. Sargent, my male, gets so excited every time i start the War up, but I'm not going to have him scratch this paint. I am going to have to find some real leather somewhere to make a mor durible one.. boy does he give me the cold shoulder when i get back. i expect it from my wife not him!!!
