What modification next?

[Toledo Mark]

Trying to figure out what my next mod will be.  Here is what I have done to my 99 Standards since I have bought it:

Lots of chrome
Champion Sidecar bags
Car Tire
Rear turn signals/driving & brake lights
Desmog

Just wondering what others have done and like?

Thanks

For cold weather riding I built some "wind wings" using lexan to keep the cold air off of my legs and decrease the buffeting at the waist level. Moved the horn to the front crash bar using an IS bracket.
Cost less than $25.00

Best thing I have done lately.

suspension upgrade and risers....improves handling performance.  Should be higher on the list than chrome, but to each their own...

Horns! Air horns, Stebel horns, BigBF horns.
Cruise control (if you're on the hi way a lot).
Performance exhaust, or glass pack muffler mods.
And when you run out of normal ideas...

Fred,,,, I just did that too mine also, although I managed to loose 1 friggen pipe. so I ended up making a temp fix until I get the cash for a proper matched replacement tip.

Can you guess the temporary one I made up?

[Toledo Mark]

I have a Stebel horn installed underneath.

Someone said to post pictures.  Here is a link to many pictures of my Valk.

Ultimate Big Boy and I would recommend it.  The only thing I do not like about it is that it is not waterproof because of the stitching.

Zeuss' bike:



Hmmmm...I'd get some red paint, and paint over that silver primer!   

Mine, when I got it (notice the red??):



Kidding aside, you might think about the darkside...



And, is that an "Iron Horse" tank bib? If not, what kind? I like the great big pocket on it!

[Toledo Mark]

Yes it is an Iron Horse bib.  Can't remember where I got it but it is great. 

As for DS I went there about 5 years ago.  Won't go back.

Here are the pictures.



and the details.

Parts - everything came from Ace or Home Depot

1 - sheet 1' by 2' Lexan
2 - pipe clamps with electrical ground connection 1/4x20
2 - 6" 1/4x20 carriage screws
2 - 1/4x20 nuts
8" - of 1" bicycle inner tube
4 - electrical lugs that will slide over the 6" carriage screw
4 - acorn nuts for the screws on the electrical lugs
4 - 1/2" long counter sink screws
4 - nuts to match 1/2" long counter sink screws
4 - washers for counter sink screws
4 - acorn nuts for counter sink screws

Cut the lexan into 2 6.5" x 10.25" rectangles.
On one corner of each rectangle remove 2.5" wide(from 6.5") by 3.25" long(from 10.25") section,
curve the section with a nice gradual inside curve.
Round the other corners for a pleasing outline.
Sand and polish the edges to remove any cut marks.
Drill 2 holes in each to clear the counter sink screws, these holes are centered 3.25"
from the inside and 1.5" and 5" from the bottom edge, centered on these holes
at the bottom cut a 1" by 1.5" clearance for the ground connection towers.
Counter sink the electrical lug holes to match the counter sink screws.
Remove the heads and round the ends on the 2 6" carriage screws.
Cut the inner tube into 2 4" lengths.
Polish and clean up the sides and edges of the pipe clamps.
Grind the teeth from the inside of the pipe clamp and profile the
inside of the pipe clamp to fit the upper crash bar closely.
It will be necessary to remove and re-profile some of the outside shoulders of the
pipe clamps to clear the cam belt covers.

Assemble the parts per the picture, and add acorn nuts to cover exposed threads.
Mount and check for clearances - on the windshield and turn signals.

The horn mounted in the first picture uses an Interstate horn mounting bracket and extended wiring from the original wires.

Have fun and good luck
