Metric cruisers

[Winger]

How many of you have done some custom work on your METRIC CRUISER.

[bmz2]

my m109 would be one of the few in this country to have custom work done on it, 240wide trye converted to 280 wide tyre, lowered 3",mirrors,grips,wing floor boards, rims u chromed[powder coat],wet weather speakers and 100watt amp, power commander,2"ext risers,tank cover,side mount number plate,custom seat being made, and exhust bebaffled, custom paint to be done in a few weeks, all in all spent more time working on the bike than riding it, but thats what i wanted it for, i only ride this beast one or two days a month,sh....it will have to look for a new project next winter,the biggest problem in getting parts for metric custom parts in new zealand, market is to small for cruisers, all we here about is sports bikes, what the hell can you customize on these , oh i no a new sticker

[jafar]

New pipe , resprayed, tank, front guard, side covers etc. Have ordered sissy bar & screen, looking into foot ramps for the pillion .
Agree with blane that the market here is a bit small but the bits are easy enough to get if you don't mind the wait when getting them from overseas.

jafar, have had a look at some roads out this way and will send you a copy of a couple of rides we can get together and nut a good ride for cruisers, about 3to 4 hours , stop for lunch and a drink on the way, how are you going with yours, maybe one weekend west /north and then a weekend south

Does Chopping a VS1400 count?

Is it running yet?

Is it running yet?

Running yes, finished no. Got a bit of work to do but still having trouble with tool usage, not strong enough yet.

Well I'm about to customise the shit out of mine, ordered new pipes (V&H Straightshots) and a whole loads of other stuff too. All from www.cruisercustomizing.com. Cheap as and good service too.

For example, if you buy V&H Straighshots here from Colemans for example, you will pay $800 before you even talk about getting them fitted, but if you buy from cruiser customizing then you are looking at $550 incl delivery to your door.
