Modifications

Polished Front Forks
This consisted of a weekend of sanding, buffing, and polishig until my hands were numb. The result? Chrome like shine of stock aluminum fork lowers.

Polished Controls
An evening of polishing the controls by a much wiser (read above) biker. It took just about as long to remove and replace the electrical componants inside the controls as it did to polish them. Result... again.. a Chrome like shine of the stock controls.

Dyna-Jet
Along with the pipes came a rejetting of the carbs. This involves some drilling and a lot of patience to really dial it in. I spent many hours taking most of the bike apart just to try a new jet or needle height. The result? A great sounding bike with plenty of power that barely pops on decceleration.

Exhaust work
Removing the baffles changed the breathing characteristics and created a few problems. I got some help on this one, and apparently the solution is a trade secrete. I was sworn to secrecy All I can say is we did some internal work to the pipes that required some fabrication. I may have said too much already.

Custom Fit Gas Tank
Even though the gas tank was made for the VLX, it still didn't fit right. we cut off, then re-located the grommett holder thingies underneath the tank to make it a little higher, and pull it forward a bit. Then we "hoged" out the hole on the bottem that is used to bolt it to the frame so it "could" slide forward a bit. The next step was to fabricate a set of flanges for the bottom of the tank so it lined up with the rear fender under the seat.

Paint
A beatiful repaint after the addition of the tank. Done by my buddy Tim, It's a "Pearl Purple" and has 14 grams of pearl in the formula. It looks phenominal in the sunlight

Sticker Removal
Not a biggie, but something I wanted to list for one important reason. The reason there is currently no "Honda" sticker on the side of the tank is NOT because I am trying to make people think it is anything other than a Honda. I am very proud of this bike and enjoy telling people that it is a Honda. A lot of work has gone into this bike. I replaced the stock tank with a larger tank (see above) for range reasons, and have not yet found a suitable graphic to put on it. But I have a couple ideas in the works.
