Default Mod bug defintely jumped...

Now it's attacking my poor defenseless li'l bike

I thought it had gone underground or something... but it must've still been in the garage... hiding... plotting... the sneaky little bastage...

And I know it's the same bug that the C5 had because the mods are similar... blue Halo and red LEDS... even HID's!!! Oh the humanity I should've known if I parked them in the same garage, this might happen!









HID's...




Poor C5 can do nothing but sit there and watch the busa get takin' over...







You can see the reaction from the bite is very similar...

The lights look great! Not that I would ever encourage modding ...but... That bike would look great with the frame polished or chromed (you can polish yourself without taking too much of the bike apart), the wheels also look great chromed. I would also consider dumping the factory cans (weight) and jump to a 4-1 Yoshi exhaust and a PCIII. Once you do that, then you can do the left side footpeg mod

Hey! Why not count it? I can't do anything else to the vette...

Hmmm...screens huh? Sounds do-able....

You gotta show me some pix! I like it that way it set up right now... but we gotta discuss these pipes and stuff... I don't want a loud set up and I read about the PCIII... it's fast enough for now. I did put carbon fiber looking levers on too!

The Yoshi pipe is louder but not obnoxious. When you replace the pipe, it will throw the FI maps off and you will get hesitations, popping etc. PCIII lets you connect to a laptop, and download maps for your pipe etc. It won't really make the bike faster, just allow you to tune the bike to each mod you do. Would be great if they made something like that for the C5.

Frame polishing is good and cheap. You can do it yourself and it looks awesome. If you do it, you will cuss me while you are doing it, but thank me when you are done. Its dirty, hard work but the end results change the whole look of the bike. Here's a random picture of a polished frame. I'll have to find some shots of my 01. The colors are very similar to yours.

You're so right about having a PC for the C5... man... that would pretty much hurt the dyno biz huh? I'm glad you told me about the pipes... I saw some I almost picked up a set, but I didn't know what they sounded like...

I did the cross member a while back... .you're right... it was a MPITA.... but on the bike, I'm trying not to bling so much... ya know? I saw a guy at a local 50's diner (about 60 bikes or so that night)... he had all of it.. frame, rims, engine parts, etc... wow... just not the look for me right now.

Thanks for adding to my addiction!
