Yoshimira Carbon Fiber Exhaust and K&N filter

Tim recently purchased a new can and filter to spruce up the performance, sound and aesthetics of his 2001 Suzuki GSX600 Katana.  New pipes are always a fun install!

Competition Werkes Fender Eliminator Kit

We installed this kit on Tim's 2001 Suzuki GSX600 Katana.  It really cleaned up the looks of the tail section of the bike!  Check it out!

Installation 1050 Throttle Tube on 675 Daytona

For a mere $10 you can do a great upgrade to your Daytona 675 by installing a throttle tube from a Triumph Speed Triple 1050.  It is a shorter throttle length and eliminates alot of slack in the throttle system.  Check Bike Bandit for the part!

Harbor Freight Low Profile Motorcycle Stand

What an unbelievable deal!  $49.99 for an all aluminum rear stand that works!!!  Check out the assembly pictures!

GB Racing Protection install

Got in a group buy on Triumph675.net.  Thank you Nick for making these kits available stateside. Makes things alot easier getting them shipped to your residence in the USA. Nick was able to provide same day shipping when he received my order!

Two Brothers Exhaust install

I went in on a group buy for a Two Brothers Exhaust for the 2008 Triumph Daytona 675.  The install went smoothly.  The look and sound are fantastic!

Dave Muffler-ectomy!

SportVue MC2 installation

I decided to install a SportVue MC2 Heads up display system on my Triumph and integrated it with my Escort 8500 X50 radar detector.  Very slick set up!

Pictures of new XGX Graphics for the YZ426

My factory graphics were turning yellow and cracking.  I searched on the web and looked in the local shops for new ones.  I found a set of XGX graphics pretty reasonable.

Hitch bike carrier Moto Built!

Over and over again I would almost dump my bike off the tailgate trying to get it up into my lifted Super Duty.  I saw different designs of hitch carriers, but after looking at their price, I decided to make my own.  And one that is lowered since my bumper sits so high.  This is what I came up with.....

Bringing home Harley Sportster for rebuild

Picked up a wreck 1992 Sportster.  Got the frame, forks, handlebars, pipes and rims done.  Need a bunch of little stuff now to wrap her up!
