Have a bit of time to kill, so I have started to play with the Street, there isn’t much to grab you in the after market or oem to make any massive quick changes. So far I have removed the really tacky graphics (and a small amount of paint as a result).
The bars where in a bad state, when I attempted to remove them I found the grips were oversize and kept in place by yards of gaffer tape and silicone!
I have removed the sissy bar (have a 2nd which came loose with the bike), tool roll (too leery), removed the plastic panniers and docking hardware it was mullered.
I have polished out the scratches except for on deep one which will covered by an aluminium billet tank trim.
Parts Received so far:
Flat Black front axle nut covers
Flat Black rear axle nut covers
Flat Black swing arm bolt cover
Docking Hardware kit
Universal helmet lock
Flat Black Willie G medallion (Derby Cover)
Defiance Handgrips
Bar and Shield mini Badge for rear fender
On order:
OEM solo seat
Flat Black fork bolt covers
Screamin Eagle orange plug leads
Bar and Shield 41/2” (approx) tank badges - not sure that I will use these!
The pipes have been removed To be cleaned and sprayed with a decent quality heat resistant spray plus the heat shields have been poorly refinished.
The wheels are going to refinished in a a very dark maroon along with the aluminium tank trim, hopefully the plastic headlight fairing and the rear fender will have a maroon stripe the width of the tank trim
This is the real advice I need, I want to fit the following Avon 110/80/17 front & Avon 160/80/15 rear which may or may not be supplemented with Progressive 412’s.
What would be the pros and cons of fitting the slightly larger tyres?
