anyone else out there who's customised their Jackals, Calis, show us some pics. Inspire us with your vision/handiwork.

Here's a couple of shots of a mate's Cali a couple of years ago - normally resides in Dunedin, NZ. I like it a lot.

I like the rear fender/mudguard. Looks so retro.

Ebay store. They're cheap, JBS shocks. $140 AUD plus shipping, look good, but I still haven't fiddled with the adjustments to smooth out the wallowing. Got them here.

Todd.

I wish it was. In Singapore you pay for parking EVERYWHERE and also tolls on some roads. The black thing is a device that identifies your vehicle so the toll road gantries and parking lots can deduct fees from a cashcard you put in it. Pain in the ass ugly things. Bigger pain is the installer at Govt inspection centres tyically wire them directly to the battery and the device continually sends out your vehicles identifying signal and a lot of peoples batteries die. (Hooked mine up to the lights so it only gets power when the bike is running.)

Another pain is, if you forget to remove your cashcard from it, it will be stolen.
More pain - if it's stolen or you forget to put your cashcard in, you get fined when you go on a toll road.
More pain - I had to replace mine recently when the bike went through a tropical monsoon rainy day and night. Cost $160 to replace. Warranty doesn't cover water damage.

Ok! More chrome coming. Header pipes, sidestand, footrest brackets and rusty rear wheel rim are on the cards.

Got loads of miles on them, just haven't got round to fiddling with the rebound. There's always other stuff to tinker with, so I get distracted. Will have a go at it soon.

Latest improvement. Got the seat re-covered. Looks sweeeet!
