Default Did some surgery on the REPSOL today

Decided today that it was time for the ugly brackets on the subframe and rear foot peg to get cut off

since they are no longer needed. Didnt take too long, just patience and a steady hand. When it came to

taking a hack saw to the subframe I thought I was going to need a shot of Patron to get me through.

I think it turned out pretty well though. Definately cleaned up the right side of the bike.

Very nicely done!

I'm holding my right-side passenger footpeg and looking at your pictures and I can't even see where you cut off the brackets!

I've wanted to do this for a while, but was worried it would turn out like crap and I'd need new footpegs, but it definitely seems possible.

Good work.

Thanks Chris.

Just take your time and hit it with a couple different files and some sand paper to finish it off.

It turned out way better than I expected it too. Ive been putting it off for a couple days waiting till I was

in a good mood.

Nice job, looks factory. You'll never need them again anyway.
