    Hi All!

    New forumite here and I thought I'd share the current state of my Hunter 350 on the journey of modifications since I bought the bike last august.

    Had Heidenau k60 scouts on before which looked incredible (and I miss the aggressive scrambler look very much), but the oversized front tire (120/90-17) unfortunately messed up the speedo\abs and the speedo just turned off mid-ride with warning lights on once I hit about 90 km\h.
    It also took a chunk off of top speed and 90-100 kmh was really pushing it. Now it handles and performs just as well as stock.

    List of mods so far (with a new muffler currently on the way):

    tires - pirelli scorpion str 150/70-17 120/70-17
    front short mudguard
    headlight grill
    led headlight
    instrument relocator
    front shield
    cross handlebar
    grips
    short adjustable levers
    bar end mirrors
    indicators (front + rear)
    tankpads
    clutch cable upgrade
    sumpguard
    engine guard
    dna air filter
    fuelx lite controller
    RE signature bench seat + leather cover
    rear suspension - custom built yss rg362-trcl
    tail light
    tail tidy (chopped stock mudguard + bracket for license plate


[/list]

Very nice looking bike. But, yes, i would like to see more pictures...

Definetly, i think the Hunter admits some customization upgrading the Neo side of it's looks (also the Retro one, of course) . I can't choose between scrambler or roadster look, but that handlebar, motocross style, or, specially, the high frontguard get my attention.

Good job!

Thanks all! I plan to do a proper photoshoot with multiple angles once the new muffler is on!

Holy smokes that is a good looking motorcycle! Love it!

I suspect this has not been a small-budget project. So good on you, mate. Apparently it has been well worth the time and effort involved.

Ride safe, enjoy, and keep the shiny side up! 😊

Tail tidies  :(  What's wrong with a proper rear mudguard ?

Hahahaha! I do agree with you, Leofric! For the longest time I didn't even know a think like that existed! And here I am - adding more lights to my motorcycle's rear (currently have three red lights and will soon have a fourth!) just so that I don't get rear ended by a 'cage driver'  ;D

You mean the bracket?  It's just some generic license plate holder I picked up at a webshop, then I cut it to my needs.

Yeah pretty much this. It's form over function.
