This is one that I did, was my dad's but he gave it to me and I changed a few things. It's not a Honda but it is a 750, cafe kinda

This was before, luggage rack, rear reflector, shitty mouse ear mirrors, standard bars, front reflectors, longer turn signal stocks, red side cases


Here is the after
Removed luggage rack, painted side covers from red to black, shorten turn signals with dremel and tightened them up, changed front reflectors to luggage case emblems, had to dremel to make them fit. Need to chop fenders and get cafe seat and paint job to finish it up.



Front


Euro Bars with bar-end mirrors, had to dremel bar out to make adapter fit


*** Shot


Rear reflector replaced with a tank emblem, had to make a mounting plate


FRont reflectors replaced with luggage case emblems

Fxck no.

It doesnt have to be new and shiny or require a big check to be cool.

Edit: Why do we still have the 'f uck' filter?
