What are the worst mods youve ever seen. Mine was today when a 50/125 cc dirtbike screamed past. It had christmas tree lights selotaped to the frame! Presumably wired to the battery as they worked, well the ones not covered in mud. Any more craptastic mods youv seen?

The thread title is somewhat misleading and I'm a bit disappointed. I was just getting myself ready for a right go! Wink

Coloured or Iridium screens, coloured anodised parts and bolts, tireflies, Neons, sound systems.

That is all.

Not quite mods; but there's tons of older Vmax riders that buy any shinee tatt to bolt on to their bikes and they think they've got a mod'ed bike. Nothing wrong wi tarty bits if that floats yer boat, but it's not a 'mod' Karma

Anything anodised, particularly socket caps. Pointless carbon fibre for the sake of it. Titanium cans - why? Titanium fasteners - why? Titanium anything on a road bike - why? Steering dampers on road bikes - GTF! Laughing Chrome frames/swingarms Shocked Big bore kits on already huge bikes. Tiny indicators. Small number plates. Number plates with stupid messages at the bottom. Fly screens. Any paint job involving flames...or naked women...or Satanic symbols...or band names...or...

I could go on for hours Wink

Just because you don't ride fast enough or on fast enough bikes to require steering dampers doesn't mean they aren't useful. Smile
Personally I think big bore kits on smaller bikes are sillier - just get a bigger bike Rolling Eyes.

i'm surprised 27cows has forgotten his history didn't the Mach IV come with a steering damper as standard?

Really? That must be why the poofs buy the 750 Laughing The H1 certainly didn't have one. OK, it was a bit of a handful, but in a fun way. It used to leave virtually everything for dead in a dense blue cloud of smoke Laughing Wonderful stuff.

Steering dampers belong on race bikes.

Anything anodised - Agreed
Pointless carbon fibre for the sake of it - That is just a stupid thing to say really
Titanium cans -Titanium fasteners - Titanium anything on a road bike - I think it has alot to do with weight issues Rolling Eyes
Steering dampers on road bikes - Another idiotic thing to say.
Chrome frames/swingarms - Agreed
Big bore kits on already huge bikes. - Coming from the man who hates speed I can understand your reasons here. To us that like actually going fast these are a wonderful idea.
Tiny indicators. Agreed
Small number plates. This 1 is a bit hit n miss as id rather walk than have to have a bike with a 10ft sq numberplate, But 3x3" does just look shit.
Number plates with stupid messages at the bottom. Some can be quite funny though.
Fly screens. Agreed although i thought they where to give some wind protection.
Any paint job involving flames...or naked women...or Satanic symbols...or band names... Agreed
You missed out.......
Fake Carbon Fibre
Helmet Ears etc
Handlebar muffs, Yes they might keep your handy pandys warm but they look shite.
Clear rear lights/indicators
Sick

Mine didn't have one. Then again, mine didn't have several bits it should have had Laughing She was dog rough compared to the pristine restorations you seem to see all the time now. Completely artificial nonsense.

Maybe it was the steering damper that made the handling so bad on the standard H1 and H2 models. I never felt in danger of dying at any time during the 8000 miles I did on mine. Well, not once I got used to the horrific speed at which Gladys devoured petrol and 2 stroke oil Shocked

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that black plastic dial atop the steering on this old bike a steering damper?

Grips, If they're not renthal or stock, leave them the fuck off.
Sticker kits, or brand stickers.
LED indicators, flush indi's or micro indicators, just leave them alone, i'm sick of fixing your fuckin wiring.
The rest i can tolerate tbh.

Whats wrong with tiny indies?

Its one of those things that are really sad yet everyone does to their bikes! Hell if I had the cash/inclination I'd put littluns on the MZ!

However for the king of all things meaty and great, not to mention the worst mods I've seen look no further than here.....!

A perfect example of how to make a good meaty bike and destroy it at the same time! Laughing Laughing


Just kidding raf we know its an 850 really!

Best looking indicators are stock yamaha's on their current ranges. Retro fit them onto your MZ it will look better.
