Went out to the garage and installed my progrip 719's. Used a small can filled gas to start her up(Everything is being painted). The new Leo high mount sounds sick. First time I hear it since I installed it last week.
 
installed steve's aTRE. very simple! can't wait to get my bike running again. i routed it with the harness going into the subframe, the switch is right below the black plastic piece by the frame rail.
 
Ordered Traxxion Damper tube kit, Sonic Springs, ZX10 Shock, Michelin Pilot Powers, Carb O-ring kits. The fun begins :)
 
I redid my garage door opener extension so I could the button up on the clip-on, instead of having to fumble to find it above next to the rear brake master cylinder. Today's lesson: Do shite right the first time.

Also gave in to my inner squid and installed the brake master cylinder cozy. Brake distances have instantly been reduced by 13%.

If anyone asks, the red button is the passenger eject.
 
I checked the back brake pads and while doing that, greased up the areas that the pads slide on. Torqued the fasteners to spec and now the back brake is happy. Lubed the chain, cleaned the rear wheel. Riding in the rain and wet sure gets the bike dirty... duh. Also, checked the tire pressure for tomorrow's commute.
 
Took off the front brake return line from the ABS unit. The front union bolt was stuck so i had to cut the line and use leverage and a vice grip to get it off. Got the wire harness off of the ABS unit. Thanks to Friendlyfoe! :)
 
installed my aTRE unit from Steve (92WestShady), and installed my new Sargent seat. (woohoo! :) )

I also tried to check my TPS settings, but I couldnt for the life of me get the Dealer Diagnostic Mode to come up. (boo! :( )
 
I looked at her, trying to figure out what part to replace first. Then i realized that i need to reweld parts of the subframe...... again......grrr
 
Finally got around to making my LED turn signals in my pass peg mounts. Took about 7 hours total...some of which was just tool-dip drying on the wires and in the mounts. I like the way it turned out...the video I posted on YouTube is crappy though...but you can see the signals and brightness. Also lubed my chain, cut an inch off inner exhaust pipe (mangled it during the mufflerectomy I did last year), cleaned my pipe with steel wool. didnn't get to ride it yet though.

here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po5d530QeTg
