Yesterday I flushed the cooling system and put new water and Water Wetter in. Today, the sun was shining for the first time in quite a while, the creeks and rivers are back in their banks, the streets were dry, just a few puffy, white clouds in the sky, AND I WENT RIDING!!! It felt sooo good. ;D
 
Finished getting it ready to be shipped to it's new owner. :(

It looks funny, as it has clip-ons and the stock bars attached as well. Easier to ship it that way. Now I just have to figure out how to fit the bike and all the extras in the crate....

It'll be crated up tomorrow some time.
dual controls? that would be dope. its like "oh im riding the street ill use these. oh **** nice canyons coming up ill use the clipons now"
 
Installed the bar end mirrors that arrived last week. Like the visibility but I didn't like the way they interfered with my hands at the end of the grips. So I turned them upside down. Better on the hands but visibility is worse. Think I need a little more tweaking.
 
Installed some EBC HH brake pads on the front end. I am still bedding them in but I have noticed more initial bite it seems.
 
Drilled my new (to me) top triple to accept the risers.
Just need to powdercoat the triples & risers and wait for cables to arrive...
 
took the saddle bags for their first ride with the homemade rails holding them out. they seemed to enjoy the ride. well at least they didn't jump off
 
I also have a 'busa shifter.
Planning on getting everything black. for now, it's only the shifter/brake pedal, but I'll break out the paint sometime soon.
 
Cool. I've been trying to figure out how to do that. I was thinking of making something that mounts to the luggage rails under the tail (I have a 1st Gen). Your solution is nice and unobtrusive.
$20 and about an hour of welding since it was my first time. ground welds flat and rhino'd them.
 
I got a Brembo hp rear brake caliper mounted to my bike. It sits at the bottom of the rear rotor, so I had to have a machine shop fabricate a bracket for the caliper. I don't have a pic yet, give me a week or two and I will post some pics
 
Took some pictures of the bike since I hadn't taken any since I bought her!

Vinyl for my Buddy's shop. Got two more on the tail section, which are visible in other pics, but not gonna spam you guys with them. XD Also you can see I took off the cracked, scratched lower fairing and added flushmount signals.

The tank, where I added a Reno eNVy sticker. Battle Born, NV state motto!
 
the busa shifter looks awesome. i'd love to get some different rear sets completely but they are so spendy. the busa shifter may be right up my alley since it's a little cheaper and still gives the blind factor.
