Honda Hornet - mods, products and parts

[Choco]

Well, we kinda hijacked poor Meatface's Thread and turned it into a Hornet modding one, so lets start afresh! Post your Proven/Possible/Planned Hornet mods, products or parts so others may bask in your awesomeness and show everyone that Hornet's rock
The second post on this thread will work as an index of where you can get stuff (thing, price, location kinda thing) and will be made up of things we KNOW we can get.
So lets get to it!

Couple of "mods" that seem interesting on this one

[Trudes]

Can't be arsed posting all the mods we've done on our Hornets, but they are all here, if anyone is interested in where we got anything or what it's like just pm me or Kendog.

The Motovation sliders ( for the 600 ) will fit the 250. And they have a good reputation.

Umm carbon fibre hugger and all the carbon bits on my bike I cant help sorry. Wish I could but I don't no where to get them from, Braided lines are $70 for the front $50 for rear from cycle treads ( fitted your self )

Im getting the rx1 set of gauges from www.koso.com ( not sure if that is correct website ) but pm toebug and ask him.

Still to fit the renthal ultra lows and sliders will post pics when fitted, Also Im scraping the ignition barrel and throwing that so I can fit my headlight better. Will be using electronic remote starter with the alarm.

Future plans anyway

[NOMIS]

Mods on bike so far -

Carbon - engine covers
Carbon - Hugger

Rear end aftermarket ( think custom made as I havnt found anything similar )

Full stainless exhaust twin banzai cans

Gsx-r K7 headlights, shortened wiring harness about 30cm ( what a pain in the ass )

Oxford gold carbon bar ends $80 - cycle treads.

Will be painting calipers, and engine bolts ect , gold anodized pegs ect ect the rest all future stuff.

all depends on $$$$ lol

Wow, fancy new clocks will look mean! and a fully electric safety/starting system would be cool, Just don't sit on the remote or run out of batteries!

i have sites that supply parts... but it's in japan ( here where i live lolz) and i dont think that google language tools can translate the site... but i'll give it anyway it's all in japs though...

http://www.goobikeparts.com/cgi-bin/....x=0&image.y=0

then you'll see on the left side part of the site... has a search bar... on the lower part of that is the parts list... like muffles handle bars carbon things etc... hope you guys could surf in it...the prices all come's in red color text... so you could convert it on your currency too...

this is all i could give from now... happy surfing...

p.s. if the clickable text wont work... the lowest part of the site... has parts too but by brand and it won't specify if it's for a 250 or what kind of cc and what kind of bike... so hope this could help though (thinking a lot if it could help) lolz...
