Sounds great, BUT------------

 

 

Can't wait to see some of these mods.

Add a Corbin seat, it will get you 2" lower and they look cool on the bike!

lol coming pics but at this point just asking if there are other suggestions. I have so many pics

[smlogan]

Is there a fitment chart for the corbin seats. I desperately want one, I have it on my 96 RS but I want to look for it used

[Freebird]

Not that I know of. I had one on my '99 and Corbin even made the deluxe touring seat that was sold as an optional seat by Yamaha for the RSV but there were no options for it. It was the same for everybody.

Suggest LED run/turn/brake on the rear and the Custom Dynamics 100 LED tail. The stock rear lighting is really dim.

Mine are stock fixtures, but bright red when on.

Could also add a light bar under the trunk (Steve K's),,, but at least get brighter on the stock rear lights.

Love the wheel covers.

How are they held on?

[smlogan]

bolts through the wheels

If you get to adding many accesories like lights. You may want to add the ignition by-pass relay to help the load on the ignition switch.

I'd like to see how this looks!!!!?

Couple of suggestions then a couple of questions if you don't mind. Swap out the rubber brake lines for braided stainless steel ones, huge difference in stopping ability and they look way better than the stock lines, I also installed a back off brake light modulator and a headlight modulator, they do wonders for keeping the cagers off your rear and from turning left in front of you. Love the wheel covers, did you match drill through the spokes or drill and tap the holes one side at a time, and last question, how thick is the material? nice work.

Cheers

Back in the day Yamaha used to sell these covers as a kit that I had on my 96RS...When the chrome started to pit I had 2 sets laser cut from the yamaha samples. 3/16 aluminum and I had to shave the edge on the back to accommodate the chamfer of the wheel. The pics only show a first pass at polishing. Wheel be removed again and done right when I do the set for my RS. Jobbed out at 140 per set material in other than the bolts

[smlogan]

And the throttle cables and brake lines have been swapped out for braided and I modify a Trucklite LED Brake lite and a home built modulator for under 30 bucks

[smlogan]

Front headlight doesn't need the modulator as I use a very High powered led replacement...They see me coming

[smlogan]

Pic coming for the power distribution center. Having a cassette deck was embarrassing

[smlogan]
