cowpuc Posted May 14, 2016 #176 Posted May 14, 2016 HEY....it's NOT farkle....it's SAFETY CHROME. You of all people should KNOW that. OK...so here is where I'm at so far. I'm sitting here in a hotel room so this is from memory. I am likely forgetting something but this is a fairly complete list. Now most of this stuff was on the bike when I bought it so I got very lucky there. We all know that you never get your money back out of accessories when you sell a bike but it's nice when you buy a used bike that already has most of them installed. 2005 Yamaha Royal Star Midnight Venture Russell Day Long heated seat Utopia backrest covered by Russell to match Corbin passenger backrest covered by Russell to match Yamaha ball milled air filter covers Yamaha ball milled carb covers Yamaha ball milled twinky covers Yamaha luggage rack Yamaha passing lights Yamaha chrome front gas tank bolt covers Yamaha chrome passenger floorboard backing plates Yamaha front fender guard Yamaha saddle bag guards Yamaha saddle bag liners Yamaha Headlamp and turn signal visors Yamaha tail light visor The Diamond Cut Guy triple cut cooling fins.

Yammer Dan Posted May 14, 2016 #178 Posted May 14, 2016 Hey!! The Band-Aids look pretty cool.... Now if I cover it with stickers like Puc did....... It will certainly be unusual..... I found some chrome paint on sale the other day........

Edited May 14, 2016 by cowpuc

Great adVENTURE Posted May 15, 2016 #185 Posted May 15, 2016 I hope there will be a before and after comparison
Freebird Posted May 15, 2016 Author #186 Posted May 15, 2016 I posted a couple of before pics already. I'll post some good pics when I'm done though.
Freebird Posted May 16, 2016 Author #188 Posted May 16, 2016 Well, I can add something else now. A set of slowrollwv's polished stainless lower wind deflectors and brackets are on the way.
Flyinfool Posted May 16, 2016 #189 Posted May 16, 2016 Done???? Are you ever really done? Doesn't done mean it is time to sell it and start over?
The Tooch Posted May 16, 2016 #191 Posted May 16, 2016 What about the ignition switch? You going to do the by-pass to take the load off the switch? There something else to do!
Freebird Posted May 16, 2016 Author #192 Posted May 16, 2016 Never did it on the '99. Never had that problem. So I probably won't unless I see some signs of a problem.
Freebird Posted May 16, 2016 Author #193 Posted May 16, 2016 Well @Yammer Dan , I appreciate you posting your list. It allowed me to compare where I'm at. The following are the only things that I don't have yet. Not sure I'll do them all but here it is: Baron's brake reservoir mounted tach (must have sooner or later) SpeedoHealer (will do at some point) Galfer SS Clutch line (someday. 2" over) Flanders Bars (someday) Barnett SS Throttle cables (someday 2" over) VMAX Rear End (not sure yet, maybe someday) Sonic Front Springs (when I need them. That is a lot of work)
Flyinfool Posted May 16, 2016 #194 Posted May 16, 2016 Are you making an offer? Not me, way to much chrome fro me to have to get rid of................
Yammer Dan Posted May 17, 2016 #195 Posted May 17, 2016 And the set of Bubs!! I cain't hide in the pack now.......
Freebird Posted May 17, 2016 Author #196 Posted May 17, 2016 No Bubs for me thank you. I got a set of Bubs with the bike. Traded them for a set of OEM RSTD mufflers like were on the '99 when you go it. Has the Harley mufflers on it now and they are LOUD. I'll enjoy them for a while and then put the RSTDs on it.
Freebird Posted May 19, 2016 Author #198 Posted May 19, 2016 OK...added just a little more...but this is it...no more. Polished stainless lower wind deflectors and brackets from @slowrollwv
bongobobny Posted May 19, 2016 #199 Posted May 19, 2016 Yup!! Got 'em on my bike too!! Ain't they pretty!??!
Freebird Posted May 19, 2016 Author #200 Posted May 19, 2016 Yea, he really does a good job on these. I'm going to back spray those under the fairing soon. Just waiting on a couple of things before I split the fairing so I only have to do it once. When I have it apart, I'll remove those clear deflectors and paint them black on the backside. By the way, the OEM clean lower deflectors wouldn't have been around too much longer. The brackets were cracked about halfway on both of them.
