Title: Made some changes to my liking (pics inside)
Post by camper2099 on 07/08/17 at 19:06:16

Hi all,

I bought my first motorcycle a few months ago, a 2006 S40. Never even sat on a motorcycle before that (I'm 33) ;D. I took the MSF course and got my endorsement a couple weeks after purchasing the bike.
I read up and learned a great deal from this forum regarding maintenance and mods/repair.
Since the bike had 15.5k on it, it was time to do something about the cam chain adjuster. I ended up having an extension welded on similar to the verslavy mod. Installed a Dyna muffler and got the jet kit from Lancer. I painted a few things and added an extra flashing brake light. You can see below what I ended up with (click on the pics for a larger image):

I replaced the stock license plate light with little led bolts

First bike and you've done all that?
Way cool, dude.
Why did you wait so long?
