I'm usually on two wheels, not four ... although that may change slightly with my SR5.Here's what I usually ride when it's not snowing out ...
1997 Ducati Monster m750: one of 100. I actually got T-boned on this bike two years ago, but I bought it back and rebuilt it. It's definitely not stock anymore ...
- Sil Moto high exhaust carbon fiber exhaust, custom cut & fit to the bike
- Open airbox conversion
- MBP collet kit (valve train)
- Corse rearsets, set up w/ GP shift (no linkage)
- Vortex 10° racing clip-ons
- Pazzo Racing shorty adjustable levers
- S/S Braided lines throughout
- Full floating front brake rotor
- Oberon bar-end mirrors
- Rizoma grips
- Puig windscreen
- LED blinkers up front, MotoDynamics integrated LED brake/turn signals out back
- Custom wiring harness (partial)
- Tailchop + T.P.O. Parts Stealth tailplate
- SpeedyMoto stubby frame sliders & frame brace (not pictured)
- All sorts of carbon fiber, Ti and Al goodness from DP, Corsair Ind. and others ...
- Just shy of 50k on the clocks, and heading to NJMSP for track days this summer ...
1988 Ducati Paso 750: 1 of 55 (in blue, anyway). This is mostly stock except for the Cobra F1 exhaust, Euro tail lens & some subtle tweaks in the fueling. Planning to install a pair of Mikuni 36mm carbs & pod filters this summer to improve the fueling.
I had a 750 Paso just like that in Kansas City. I bought it from Jim Koenig at Letko Cycles...rode the crap out of it. I had 2 ST2's and A Cagiva Gran Canyon. ( I worked at Letko too.) Now I have a '05 650 Vstrom.

Heres my 05 Harley Softtail Standard.. Summer daily driver
Has your normal stuff. Lowered a bit, Slipons and an air cleaner, SE oil pump, minor head porting and a thinner headgasket. But my favorite thing to put on th bike is the miles!
Had a Project 72 Ironhead chopper for a bit. Found int in a barn. Started to assemble, but sold it before I got too far..
How I found it..

Well, I'll be the budget biker on here...
My custom Yamaha XJ600s.
I got her all stock (not my picture):
Same as this except no luggage rack:
After my mods:
Naked Coversion
Taillight/undertail from '01 R6 w/ integrated turn signals
Front end from 02/03 R1
Aftermarket mirrors with integrated turn signals
Jama/Renntec Engine guards
Steering damper from GSXR1000
V-star rear shock (slightly taller)
I have since stripped off the blue rim tape and replaced the engine guards with the new Renntec version after I hit a car that turned left in front of me on a blind curve (100% his fault). I was very proud of my little stallion though, I didn't even fall and I rode the bike away from the accident, but his car couldn't even get into his driveway (he was turning left into his driveway when I hit him/he hit me). My bike ended up snapping his tie rod and breaking his wheel.
Anyway, I don't have any current pictures, but those 2 are pretty dang close. I think I am done with mods on her now, other than perhaps painting some various components black (rearset, brake and shifter lever, etc.). I don't want to black it out completely, but I do want the overall look a bit darker. Other than that, I plan on pulling the engine this winter and doing a full maintenance job (valves lapped and spaced as needed, clutch plates and springs replaced, possibly a timing advance, etc.).
I typically commute to work on her when weather permits, which is 40 miles each way down I-95 around Boston. About once a year I take a long day trip up to northern NH and ME so I can ride around a bit without a helmet on and enjoy the mountains and twisties.

My current street bike. '02 SE Hayabusa.
Mods.
MTC Pistons
Crower Ti Rods
Cylinder head work
Falicon massaged crankshaft
Web Cams
Ferrea Ti valves, retainers and performance springs
Akrapovic Evolution full Ti exhaust system
Modified air box and sealed ram air tubes
De-restricted
Mapped, and extended rev limiter
Race Tech massaged suspension
Galfer pads and steel braided lines
Worldwide Ceramic wheel bearings
DID 530ZVMX chain
Sunstar sprockets
I still to this day have the stock reflectors on, because their weight is insignificant, and believe they help keep me from being flattened by preoccupied, cellphone talking cagers.

Nice bikes guys! I'm stoked to see so many naked bike floating around here.
A pic of my bike... when I bought it, it was a stock Ninja 650, and I loved the torque and
riding position, but the stock faired bike wasn't my style. After some chopping and fabbing parts, rewiring, moving stuff around THIS is now my bike.

Hey a motorcycle thread! Here is my bike. I got a 1996 Harley SuperGlide that is very custom.
The custom stuff/mods/accessories:
-Paint (designed by me, painted by a pro)
-Powdercoating, done is gloss black for some stuff and a whrinkle finish for other parts.
-Body work, rear fender shaved (done by me), inverted front on the front fender and lowered to the tire .75" (idea by me, done by painter)
-14" ape hanger handle bars
-new style OEM blinkers and mirrors.
-Taillight integrated into rear blinkers
-LED headlight bulb. LED front and rear blinkers w/ smoked lenses
-Rigid Industries Duallys Spot beam.
-Rear shocks mounted a couple inches back to ride lower
-Vertical side mounted licence plate, with LEDs (built by me)
-Forward controls
-Wrapped exhaust headers, Black Ceramic Coated mufflers, Rear Tapper Chopped off the back of mufflers.
-LePera Solo seat
That is all I can think of right now.
Ok here are the pictures, just a very quick run through of the build. From how it started, tear down, getting the parts, rebuild and how it is now... almost, I dont have super updated pictures of a couple things.
