06 Rev Possible Upgrades

[willbarber1989]

Hey sorry if there are threads already on this, but I'm looking for some direction/input on a few items I want to get done on my '06 Summit 800, 151":

1. Removing tail light and going to LED - procedure, where to buy etc?
2. Repainting the plastics - best products to use?
3. Installation of Drop and Roll kit? - procedure, where to buy etc?
4. Switching out the "U" shaped handle bars with a new riser and straight FLY bars or something similar - are cable extensions required, heated grip replacement, can the control switches be salvaged?
5. Inside Wheel kit - where to buy, ease of installation?
6. Any other item I'm missing?

Sorry for all the questions, your input or direction to previous threads is appreciated.


Thanks

1. The tail light removal is a piece of pi$$. Call Jarrid at Absolute Power and Performance. He stocks the led tail light
2. DO NOT REPAINT THE PLASTIC!! I did this and it did not last long at all. What colour of plastics are you after? I have extra black side panels and a black hood if thats what you're after..
3. Call Jarrid at APP for the drop and roll.
4. Totally ditch the U shaped bars. I have a pivot post adapter and a compete set of straight factory bars with controls, basically plug and play.. (PM me if you are interested.. cheap!!)
5. Starting Line Products for a 2 wheel inner kit. $35 new in the pkg, and it simple to install
6. Throw a set of WRP running boards. Best in the business,.

Did you sell your bars?

- disconnect the sway bars
- relocate the ECM. water dips off the heatlight onto it. will give ya problems sooner or later. or at least di-electric grease any connections
- ill state the obvious, aftermarket can. wont give you much for ponies but the weight savings is the factor

Thanks, looks fairly easy.
I'm hearing alot of mixed ideas about LED tail light placement and the best way to mount it. Some say through the mud flap, others mount on aluminum angle on top of the tunnel. Is one position better than the other?? Thanks again

I would mount it on the top of the tunnel, had my flap come loose on my 04 rev and fall off from all the wheelies......LOL

That's kind of what I was thinking, deep snow when your stuck might crush or damage the light when it's on the flap. I will see if can get an angle or some kind of bracket to house it on the top surface of the tunnel.

Thanks

Why not just take the hole thing off and be done with it?

sucks to have someone run into you because they couldn't see ya in a snow whiteout.

 

[willbarber1989]

Yea I would still like to have one installed. Does anyone have any input on installing a big wheel kit (8") on these sleds? I've always loved the look.
