Hey Fellows, I wanted to start a topic which will track the modifications I'm completing on my 1800 "X" with Highlander custom Cycles at the Helm.
I referred to it as KPS (Kip's Pro Street) since that's all I could think of. Folks helping with this project and I'll list them here first.
:arrow: Highlander Custom Cycles
:arrow: Honda Direct Line (Thanks for the Builders Discount...Big Savings)
:arrow: Brown County Customs
:arrow: Kewl Metal
Here is my bike prior to being sent to Highlander Custom Cycles in Dania FL. which BTW is only 30 minutes or so from HDL
Here is a list of changes I'm planning. Now, I must admit, this project for me was only going to be custom paint and sheet metal with raked frame and extended front end until I kept reading this board and looking at all the possibilities. So here is my complete list as of 4/14/05 (in no particular order):
:arrow: Stretched Tank and Seam removal (no more trim...
)
:arrow: French’d In, 2005 Honda Digital Speedo
:arrow: Pop-up Gas Cap
:arrow: Custom Front and Rear Fenders
:arrow: Custom Paint (Kandy Orange) w/tribal graphics in black
:arrow: HCC Custom Bars w/hidden cables and wiring
:arrow: Custom chrome grips, switch boxes, and mirrors,
:arrow: Custom Forward Controls
:arrow: RC Chrome Predator Rear Wheel 18"X 5.5" w/super hub
:arrow: RC Chrome Predator Front Wheel 21"X 3.5"
:arrow: RC Polished Rotors all around
:arrow: ME 880 200/50 rear and ME 880 Front tires
:arrow: 42* raked frame
:arrow: 6* raked triple trees
:arrow: Kewl Metal 4" extended Billet Forks Legs
:arrow: BCC/Cycle House Softail Swingarm (chrome)
:arrow: BCC/Cycle House Down Under Rear Caliper bracket (chrome)
:arrow: Kewl Metal Rear Air Suspension
:arrow: Morton's XROIDS Chrome exhaust
:arrow: Custom Seats (Rider and Passanger w/GEL Pads)
:arrow: Relocate overflow coolant bottle b/w cylinders
:arrow: Progressive Fork Springs
:arrow: Kewl Metal Fat Fork Covers
:arrow: Custom Mounted Rear LED taillight/turn signals
:arrow: Sidemount license plate with LED brake light
:arrow: Chrome Final Drive assembly
:arrow: Velocity 2 extreme Twin Ram Air Breather
Well, that's all I can manage to remember at this time. I'm off to meet with HCC in Dania tomorrow and review all mod's and finalize items such as bar design and positions, forward control positions, rear fender/taillight design, paint options/colors, etc.
I'm extremely excited about these modifications and want to thank Hal at HDL, Rob at BCC, Big Joe at Kewl Metal, and Glenn at VTX-Treme, Bruce at [email protected], among many others that have answered questions and taken time to help me decide what was best for me.
Most of all... Thanks to Shawn Henderson at HCC who is one of the nicest folks to deal with. Always taken time to discuss my thoughts and plans and help me understand his abilities and limitations (though very few) of what to do and at what cost. Though, I must admit, I've not restricted a lot of cost.
Right now, my estimate is close to 15K which should include paint and other minor details/mod's to bring everything together.
Photos next week from what's already complete!
So what do you guy's think and did I miss anything major I should have???
Thanks
