I'm very excited to dig in this spring on doing a very one-off customization for my bike on a budget. I think it would be very awesome to have something like nobody else, designed by me/for me, and have less than 2k in the whole thing.
So here's my plan so far:
-1982 550LTD in good running order with kerker pipe, jetted, and air pods
-lower it as far as I can all around (ideas?)
-upgrade tires to cut some corners a little sharper
-wheels? any wider options out there?
-gpz rear fender/taillight (what's needed?)maybe even do the whole body to be a gpz (again, what's needed?)
-drag bars
-maybe try to do something with the big mirrors and rear turns if I can.. ideas?
-powdercoat engine/trans case (exept between the cooling fins)
-any engine internal mods? higher compression? cams???
-I have some chrome-illusion paint laying around I figure I'd use up on painting the body panels, then eggshell black powdercoat the wheels.
-bigger carbs to match any engine mods?
-and finally... ANYthing I can do with the foot controls? I know forward is hard to fab up, but anything for relocation at all? I hate getting my foot caught on the engine case.
I'm really a newbie on the custom world of these. Any ideas and help is greatly appreciated!
