    Well, Im turning this bike into the pusher for my Reverse Trike. The bikes got around 30k, and has been down in front end damage, but no damage to anything Im using (other than gauges). I got stuff pretty torn apart to get it ready to attach to the front frame. Figured I should see if there was any good stuff I could do while Im in here. Or anything that I can delete or remove?

    Im probably getting a different radiator and putting it in the front of the vehicle. So I guess the stock radiator, fan, and over flow is for sale, as well as the kick stand, forks, and Single Sided Swing arm. I'll probably have more to sell later as well, but I'll make a real thread for it.

    I just made block off plates for the recirculation system back into the intake. Can I just leave the solenoid unhooked or will that throw a code or something?

    I took the kick stand off and jumper'd the plug so that it wont prevent me from moving.

    I took all the wiring out and am gonna only run back to the bike what sensors and such are required to be back there.

    If you wanna see what Im doing, check out the photo section here. Also, if you want pictures of anything, let me know and I'll snap some, for whatever reason.

    I did find several lines that went to nothing. Kinda hard to tell with this much stuff removed, but does this bike have a lot of vent lines? Looks like I found 3 for the gas tank, 1 for the coolant overflow, and 2 more that I cant find a home for.

    Also, heres my home made "fresh air valve induction" block off plates.

    Its pretty easy when you got the frame off. Then you dont have to screw with the throttle bodies and intake.
