R1100GS fork swap & more or my HPF build
I know (and I'm glad) it's been done but here's my go at it.
The project: Getting Miss Piggy here on a diet and improve her nimbleness so that this thing rides a little bit more like a proper dirt bike. So far: Twobrothers exhaust cat-elim: -18lbs, ABS removal: -11lbs, SS brake hoses: like I'm gonna tell if something add weigth! (although they probably don't)Elkas front and back: same as above In near future: Front frame mods and fork swap 21inch ktm wheel Front brake swap Later: Trimming the absurd Corbin sofa Trimming the rear fender,ligths, etc. Rear frame reinforcements Headlights replacement Beware as this may take a while. I view this bike as a work in progress. Basically, I looked all over for a perfect bike and could not find it. So instead of buying something else and modify it, I decided to keep what I had and pimp it until I am satisfied or fed up and take up knitting. Mind you, I'm a fan of the shaft drive and boxer engine, both for feel and extended intervals of maintenance. The bike is old and has some solid mileage so it's no garage queen. I also happen to ride it more than I wash it and it shows. Please forgive me or look in another direction. Enjoy.
