Well, for the last three weeks, with my Medical Down-Time Recovering at home, and my New Unridden FORZA sitting in the Garage..... apparently..... I've had TOO MUCH TIME on my hands!
Here is the result of WHAT CAN HAPPEN, with the WEB, EBAY, REVZILLA, STREETGLO, & PAYPAL..... and a New Battery in my Mouse:
I'm calling this a SNEAK-PEEK, because:
1. I have a few more items coming in the mail.
2. I can't install the Malossi Shocks, until I'm completely healed up in another 2'ish weeks.
3. I can't do the Rim Tape on the Front Wheel, until I can lift more than 10# (See #2).
4. I can't do the CounterAct Balancing Beads in my Tires, until I can roll the Front Tire by hand (See #2).
PARDON MY PICS, but they're all taken in the Garage. This Vessel won't see the light of day until next month, since she's still in Dry-Dock! Anyway..... here's what I've been up to:
BEFORE:
AFTER:
DECAL MODS & REBADGE:
Day:
ABS Decal, Black Fader Stripe, & Thin Yellow Reflective Pin-Stripe:
Night:
ACCESSORIES:
Givi Windshield:
Large Space between Givi Windshield and Dash Cover:
Larger Air Vent Hole with the Givi, than the Stock Sport Windscreen:
Biker’s Friend Roll Bag & Backrest (FORZA Butt-Pad Removed):
Holes were NOT Drilled! The Zip-Ties and Hooks are running through the Existing Holes from the Butt-Pad Removal. Completely Reversible to Remount Butt-Pad. No Fuss & No Muss!
Zip Ties through the Rear Biker’s Friend Hooks & D Rings, to add extra Security & Support:
Helmet Lock on Handlebar:
Mobius Camera & Handlebar RAM Mount:
AirHawk Seat Pad & Biker’s Friend Lumbar Pad:
AirHawk Pillion Seat Pad, used as a Backrest Cushion, strapped to the Biker’s Friend:
GRAB-ONS (Grip Puppies) Installed:
I used thin 1/6" Yellow Reflective Pin-Stripe, for Day & Night Visibility, and because I wanted to add a bit to match the already installed Yellow Decals on my Helmet. I've got a Red Roll of 1/6" Pin-Stripe Tape coming in for the Helmet, so I can add a bit to match the FORZA.
I removed all of the FORZA's Stock Decals & Badges, and replaced them with Vinyl Decals in both Black & Red.
I used an Automotive Decal, with Black & Clear Fader Stripes, to give it a different effect (I have the same kit on my car...).
EVERYTHING..... I've done to the FORZA can be UNDONE in a couple of hours, and Restored to Stock, without having to replace any Panels, Fill in any holes, etc.
I played around with the Helmet Cable and Underseat Helmet Lock, and didn't like it. I replaced it with a Helmet Key Lock, that mounts to the Handlebar. When I turn the Handlebar to the left to Lock it, I can Lock the Helmet with the D Rings at the same time.
Anyhow..... THAT's what I've been up to. Still playing around with a few ideas, and it should all come together by the time I get in the Saddle in the next 2 weeks!
Give a Pirate Sick Leave, and they don't have a clue what to do!
Cheers!
