Drew was back at it again today modding the Nekkid PC into something even more wild.  He finished up the handle bars and wired up the new switch clusters.  Now he should be able to start the bike and hear that sweet new exhaust.

The left-side controls.

Drew came up with an interesting replacement for the coolant overflow reservoir.  He found a tea can and improvised.

Looking down at the new handlebars.  He did some welding to put the choke cable where he wanted it.

Drew is rebuilding the Nekkid PC into something beautiful.  In Day 3 he welded up a completely new exhaust system from the headers back.  It now has a Vance and Hines SS2R Muffler. Four slip joints were used to put the muffler on the bike. The exhaust routing goes up and over the center stand cross/brace area.  The center stand was removed from the bike because Drew doesn’t want or need it.

 

Another view of the routing.

This is a serious exhaust system!  It’s going to sound amazing.

Drew is in the process of modifying the Nekkid PC800 that I sold him into some sort of Franken-PC.  I’m not sure if he has a name for it yet other than calling it badass.  This first picture shows the Daytona bars that he installed.

 

Here is another view.  The bike looks pretty good with those bars.

This is a mockup of the headlight assembly he is making.  Note that he decided to keep the twin Mercedes car horns.  Good choice!
