where to start... Tank Pronto 150 (pee green)...
Mods :
-painted the scoot to look my race bikes (GSXR600 and SV650) in the official Draganee Racing color scheme.
-installed 06' GSXR front/rear turn signals
-06' GSXR L.E.D tailight
-Whelen TRE3 L.E.D rear brake light strobe
-Auxuliary L.E.D marker lamps in the headlight bezel
and by far the best mod was a Stebel Nautilus Compact Train Horn hard mountd to the lower triple tree... it is one SUPER LOUD M'FER HORN.... 130 dbs and it will blow your socks off.....
-next on the list is a 06"GSXR 1000 Titanium factory exhaust , pain in the ass thus far but will most definately go with the theme...
photos to follow...

4x4
the mods , with the exception of the exhaust took less then 3 hours. Of course the prep, paint and vinyl work took much longer but the out come was well worth it (especially that horn)
As for the GSXR exhaust, as I lay out the location of the exhaust it appears to be a a tad bit disproportionally large plus cutting/welding Titanium is a pain in the arse.

close-up of the right side mirror. The install was quite simple. Ebay for the mirrors ($25.00) then I had to remove the factory mounting base with a Dremel, enlarge the mounting hole for the correct thread size wich matched that on the control and wire it up... 1/2 hour per side. As a side note each side control was removed and the mounting hole in the handle bar was elongated to tilt the control forward inorder to have a good reward view since there is very little adjustment in the GSXR mirror...

close-up of the LED bulb installed(amber color) used as marker lights. A trip to the auto store for 2 1157 single filament sockets which were easily wired to the existing light harness and mounted by heating the bezel area and sliding the sockets home. Bulbs are standard amber LEDs...cost $15.00

ahh the tail section... by far the most fabrication needed but very simple. You can see the GSXR turn signals (Ebay $20.00) easy instal, just remove the old ,enlarge the mounting hole and wire them up. The Whelen TR3 red LED strobe light is mounted to where the rear reflector was and wired to the brake light. Very easy install and incredibly effective/bright when activated...($50.00)
Now the GSXR LED tail/brake light combo took a bit of thought before installing. Since the mounted tail/brake light protruded 2 inches further then the stock and I wished for a "flush" appearance, I first mounted the light to the rear housing and wired it to the factory harness. I fabricated a lens shroud using a piece of plastic cut from a Tupperware container, screwed it into the factory light housing and took a propane torch and heated it into place to form a nice curved shroud and painted everything black.... came out pretty good and looks great....Ebay $15.00 for the 06' GSXR tail/brake light.

ahhh yes.. the Stebel Nautilus Air Horn ( $45.00) the best mod by far as well as the most obnoxious, rude, flagrant and an attack on any civilized society.... there it is lurking under the Pronto's nose with the outlets pointed forward...
Simple mounting to the lower triple using a piece of aluminum bracket and wired to the horn harness.... that baby WAILS....

an underside view of the air horn... I am amazed that such a puny sized horn can produce such a loud blast.....
There you have it folks... ENJOY and ask any questions....

and for you fashion conscious individuals... the finished Pronto matches the color scheme of my race bikes...(Aprilia RS250, 07 GSXR 600 (almost done) and the SV650).... fashion counts !!! even on the race track.....  |

Dawg-ster, I used a single stage enamel Omni AU (low-end PPG stuff) base coat was a standard white inorder to make the 2002 Mazda Sonic Blue Metallic paint pop in the sunlight

My horn has a diferent name, but its the same beast. And we shared a nearly common thought on mounting. I used a piece of angle iron and steel strap to fab a mount. The angle bolts to the fork clamp bolts and my horn is actually under the fork brace instead of in front of it.
But its right up front where it needs to be and it is loud!
