People do some crazy sh** when their broke and have too much time on their hands. Like me now responding to this post. The bolts and sprocket were paint red ! WTF !!!! Thats awesome!!! Look at that seat. Your butt must have be sore for months. Hell after riding that I would have killed for a car too. ANY CAR.. All you have to do now is add a flux capacitor petal fast enough and you'll go back to the future.

God bless. Now I want to see a pic of the bike with the red handlebar mod !

haha i will have to pull it out for the year and take a pic. that seat is actually a "extra padded" seat...still not the best thing in the world but i am looking at a black and red carbon fiber seat but it still hurts to spend 90$ on a bike seat

UPDATE

So i got back from colorado tonight and decided to reset my lenses in the holders and they are now set properly. (no extra lip on either side)



i then started the trial and error process of tuning the projector by putting washers between the cutoff shield and the lens i used a #6 washer from home depot cost like $1.50 for 30 washers.



i also mocked up where im going to be epoxying the led holder into the housing.



Tomorrow i will be buying a soda blaster from harbor freight to get rid of some paint that didnt come out too great. Then i will re-paint the part i was unhappy with. I am also going to epoxy the led holder.

Tomorrow night i will also test the output of the projectors with the clear lenses and the washers.

if all turns out well i should have everything sealed up this weekend and the car back together!

Lights look great, btw. You have some serious hangers to pull apart the BRZ lights, I thought about doing it to my EDM 86 lights but I can't bring myself to do it.

Definitely looks like an RX bix cutoff.

How many washers did you end up using?
