What modifications to get to this bike?

Post by berserker789 »

Hey everyone,

I recently purchased a 2007 S50 a few days ago and got it for a great deal.

I'm now wanting to modify it and came across this video with a look that I'd like to go for.

Youtube link:

What are the big modifications that need to be done here?

Also, anyone know where I can find that seat?

Get out your checkbook, completely disassemble the bike, powdercoat everything.
Forward controls...about $400-$500.
Cut / weld the fenders
Replace the signals, lights, mirrors, seat, exhaust system, the list goes on.

Hmmm I see. Im thinking if I can get everything done under $1k then it would be worth it. If it costs more than that, then it may not be and I could probably buy another bike with a bigger engine thats already the style I want.

I got this bike as a temporary fix to get around, since I totalled my car and am waiting for my factory ordered car.

Now I love the bike since I bought it and want to customize it.
