Do some require rejetting (earshave then rejetting), or are they all pretty easy? I'm looking at Jardine Rumblers, but I'm still ignorant when it comes to what's good.

I'll definitely check out those links. I'm hoping to old school bob/chop it out though, so I doubt I'd go with anything too electronic looking.

Aftermarket pipes won`t require rejetting.
Only an earshave and putting pod filters directly on the carbs will lean the fuel mixture out to where rejetting is necessary.

Link to Chad/Ccspinners mods on his 750. Look around, he builds footboards and brackets for highway pegs.

There is a thread here from a year or two ago, of a dash replacement with an electronic speedo, tach, clock, thermometer, temp, oil, coolant, gas gauges etc. Don`t recall the brand.

My suggestion would be:

Install highway pegs and new grips - pretty much bolt on
Replace pipes (nothing fancy, just something with a little more power and a deeper, throatier sound) - this can also be a bolt on, not too hard assuming you don't break any studs and you get a set that don't require rejetting the carbs
Replace and/or chop rear fender
Repaint fenders and tank (solid black) - paint is pretty easy, and easy to fix if you screw it up, of course if you're going to chop your fender you don't want to paint first
Replace seat upholstery - this can be cheap and easy
(or)
Replace dual seat with low-profile solo seat - this can require quite a bit of fab work
Replace speedometer (or perhaps the entire electronics cluster) - this can be easy or hard, depends on what you want to put in it's place. Drop a Vapor in there and it's pretty simple but you probably wont like the look. Think brackets, mounting cups, cables, wiring...
Install larger gas tank (possibly from a larger Vulcan? Don't know if this is possible) - cutting, welding, relocating other components

Replace stock bars with 14" apes. Possibly with internal wiring. - not too hard if you can get the longer cables you'll need. Not much work here just money. This one's last simply because I don't like apes.

Hey guys, got a few questions. I recently bought an 88 vn750 as my first bike, and it needs a bit of work.


Here is a list of things that I want or need to do with the bike, I just don't know where to start. So...

Question:

Which of these are the easiest and/or cheapest to do, and which are the most expensive and/or most difficult?

*Assume that everything mechanical is already dealt with and in good working order*

I would very much appreciate any thoughts or advice!
