I present you my X

Ok i been a member of this forum since 08 - even before I bought my X, and since then I had many topics in wich i was bothering ppl with many questions. Except short introduction i newer wrote anything about me and my bike... well this is going to change since this rainy day.

I bought my new X on March 2009, and I'm enjoying it since then...

Since then i did various mods, most of them were advised by headmaster Kev, som of them by other forum members and friends... so lets start...

First of all I didn't like those stock red stickers and they had to go since day 1.
unfortunately I found out that they are there for reason... so now I have pretty much scratched side panels... i tried to fix that by sticking on black mat car vinyl... but results wasn't grate:

I will try this again soon but this time I will pay someone who know to do it..

I ordered a pair of Acerbis Supermoto Hand guards for wich i think that fits bike line perfectly.

Next thing to be fit was DNA filters stage 1 and stage 2. In same time on other side of world Kev received order from me for his Mod. Luckely everything arrived in no time...
Kev mod was mounted and fited under the seat witout problems, snorkel removed and metal net fitted over hole

But that plastic stage 2 filter wasn't the prettiest thing.
so 1.5mm tin was in sliced and coated in black. i had on mind option with metal net... but at the end I dropped it

Denso Iridium spark plug http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/2127/img0115vj.jpg

Next thing, i newer liked those big rounded indicators… so they had to go.. instead of them small LED arrow head indicators was mounted

http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/3...turnsignal.jpg http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2404/indicators.png
of course, LED parking light was next logical thing to change
http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3948/parkinglight.jpg its little bit ugly but hay it glows white :) perfect to match H4 bixenon 6000 K wich is next to it ...

DID CHAIN-KIT RACING X-R with black sprocket

On 10.000 i needed to change my tires so Micheline Pilot Power 2CT was fitted
http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/3329/photokyo.jpg

and then I came to the funniest mod:
Leovince x3 exhausts
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/6759/photo3of.jpg

My latest mod which I fitted few days ago is LED tail light and tail tidy:

Well done, that is what the fun is all about owning these bikes, the most important thing is to make it your way!

Congrats. :clap: :clap:

searching all around this forum, looking at the various pictures and ignoring an option to order it from off the road website because of its ridiculously high price i chose make it yourself solution. I must say http://www.xt-660.de/mainframe.htm gallery was really helpful in finding a perfect one :)

I found that chines bikes CPI and Derbi have really nice looking LED teil light on their supermoto and motocross bikes so I decide that it fits my desires.
I contacted several chines distributers in my city but they couldn't hook me up with one in any reasonable time.. Google did his job perfectly and I ordered one from
http://www.andysmotorcycles.com/inde...roducts_id=132
paying �24.95 + shipping… not that bad

http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/3...dtaillight.jpg

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4691/img0992cn.jpg

wit this tal light, all the xtx photos i could find loaded to my laptop, bunch of enthusiasm I went to my friend Nikola (KTM 640 LC4) garage to get a job done!

Making Of Tail Light:

ok so inspired by all the images, and after carefully readied every single info i could find on this topic we started with cutting the tail. There is an old saying in my language - " 3 puta meri jednom seci " which would mean mean something like 3 time measure one time cut… well we measured only 2 times so unfrtinetly we cuted it 5mm shorter :(

Dissembled

Measuring

http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/1562/54711084.th.jpg

Cutting (at this point we tought we could save top part of plastic to be some kind of roof over LED tail light.. but it turned out we had to take it all...

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2793/58795456.th.jpg

Modeling

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/2243/23501794.th.jpg http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/6481/41211522.th.jpg http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1306/71154661.th.jpg http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8754/72340345.th.jpg http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/1940/86124796.th.jpg http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7162/87960026.th.jpg
Tadaaaa:

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/9341/78738612.th.jpg

after this it was again dissembled and sent on powder-coatingin in black. Final results was weary nice as you can see...

http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/996/84836561.th.jpg http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/1969/28153740.th.jpg http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/3671/40111788.th.jpg http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4535/10219351.th.jpg

Wiring and fitting indicators - because original tail plastic is little bit curved we had to fit indicators with pre sharped plastic spacers that Nikola made

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/8...ncijeri.th.png http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/5503/88156833.th.jpg

http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4351/35573946.th.jpg

and the final product would be like this:

http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/9539/16985540.th.jpg http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/7092/53276513.th.jpg

Licence plate is fitted later a little bit "illegal" and soon ill have to find better position for it.. this way i can be spotted by cameras and ticketed for illegal plate placement... so i dont have any real benefit form placing it like this.

also i justa made new bigger spacers to replace stock ones for exhausts since i wanted to "put exhaust" little bit wider since tail is now naked :)
and hopfuly next week I will receve front Hyperpro spring and oil that I recently ordered from off the road,
http://www.off-the-road.de/out/pictures/3/forkkit.jpg
and i will mount them along with used XTR dogbones that i managed to find locally (like KEW advised me)

http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/8273/img1133t.th.jpg

- to be honest from first look this dog bonse looks exactly same as mine on X ??? :( hopefully it will prove me wrong once i mount them otherways i wasted 20 € for nothing...

all this X mods are supported by

Custom windshield made by local craftsman for 45€...
my original idea was to use it for long trips but my current job did everything to stop me from going it anywhere far >:( I newer even mounted it on bike its just sitting in closed colecting dust for a year:

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/2...g0455rs.th.jpg

also Givi E470 with backrest is sitting there under it

ok so that would be about it... sorry for any spelling/lang mistakes its not my native language... thanks for reading this long long post

Nice write up mate.:023:

Looks great!!

Is that the backing of an old Apple keyboard you used for the filter cover?

no no :) I used regular 1.5m tin

i just noticed that somehow i only have time by night... daylight shoots soon :glasses13:

pozdrav iz CG drug! odlican ti je XtX! :)

pozdrav za komsiju ;)

dog bones are removed because it was to low in corners :( i was grinding frame and footrests all the time :(

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/123959/MG_8174.jpg

nice pic! and a nice looking bike you have there.

Gledao sam slike,odlične su :headbang: nice pic.

Nice pic, but watch out with your foot,, thats how i broke my ancle 3 weeks ago, when hit at small stone and my foot got under the bike, and yes i had proper riding boots on..

When I looked at the picture,first thing I noticed was the foot wear!!!

well im planing to buy som racing boots but cant find anything decent that i like here... ill have to do little bit of online research :D but i definitely agree boots are wise decision! :(

dude your bike is looking good and i am digging your fabrications! get some mx boots though, that picture makes me cringe ;)

hey where'd you buy the light and the indicators from ??

cheers, sam

A man after my own heart, mod it until with things you can buy off the self, they start making your own mods:109:

Bike and mods look super and well documented, thanks and well done mate !!!!

So new season is on and we continue with mods :)
Unfortunately amount of money that I will be spending on X this year is significantly lower (thanks to Alfa Romeo and their stylish cars :italy:)

Last thing I did last year but newer had time to post it, are crash bobbins.
There was manny options but I read somewhere all good about this guy.
I send hem a email and we managed to come to price of �18 inc shipping to Serbia for 4 bobbins, nuts and washers. They only had 8mm threaded bars at the moment, and since we need 6mm for our Yamahas I had to buy it localy (wich I found cheeper :)

http://members.multimania.co.uk/mgmo...h_bobbins.html

*NOTE, bobbins for rare wheels had to be sanded because of big wheel bolts
(more pic to come, but you can see preview on img down)

All this time I was wondering could original XTZ Tenere foot pegs fit on my X,
and since friend just bough one with pivot pegs I finally got myself a pair!
So here are they:

http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/5...2202310.th.jpg

Original Yamaha XT660Z foot pegs do fit XTX perfectly :)

And to answer SAM,
Indicators are bought in local moto store, they are nothing special... as I can remember they call them arrow led indicators, and they get little bit fogy after a year of washing >:( and I wrote earlier abot rare light. I ordered it lonline from UK online shop i think:
http://www.xt660.com/showpost.php?p=155651&postcount=3

And for others, racing boots just ordered :) weee cant wait for them to arrive:headbang:

Anyone got ideas for cheeper short levelers ? In Gold or black color perhaps ? :icon_jokercolor:
Maybe I forgot to mentioned that I made homemade original clutch shortening mod that works perfectly but now I want it for break also... :D

*UPDATE*

just ordered a pair od these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-Brake-Cl...#ht_861wt_1165

waiting game begins :|

Nice,dobro mu je čučnulo.:coolsmiley:

They are great. It felt little weird on begining but i gor used to it really quick. Althought maybe I should go with black ones :)

I hvala kom

and fresh from china:
10�

Awesome work! i m looking forward to make that patent on taillight with direction lights too because cant really get anything like that and im glad i checked your post before i start :P got 2 questions: The metal you used on tail light is 1 part or you used 2 spared parts stacked on the main one? and any cheap levers? Thanks!

Thanks! under tail is made of 3 parts (main part http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4535/10219351.jpg and 2 sides http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/1969/28153740.jpg)
They are welded together and powecoated in black... hope this helps.

Guy that made this one for me made another one I can ask him if he would like to sell or his planning to keep it as a mold... but then we would have to figure out how to ship it... also he wont be back from see side before the end of august...

Rare tyre had to be changed... although it could least a tliite longer :)

Micheline Pilot Power 2ct FTW!

http://ompldr.org/vZXhlcQ.jpg

(after 9.526Km)

yes new one is same... why change a winning team :)

----------------

And fresh from chine:

"Race" look grips 10€
although they fit perfect, and feel tight in hands, I do think they transfer more vibration and pain to palms >.<

http://ompldr.org/vZXhldA/rucice.png

just to say good buy to you guys... bike is sold and I'm upgrading to KTM SMR 690... wish you all the best!
