I took the windscreen off and painted it black. She looks nice with it black.

I swear I'm gonna get the registration up to date and ride......At some point:facepalm:
 
looks good rabbie! i convinced a buddy to paint his instead of buying one for $60. he's super glad he did too. what kind of paint did you use?
Thanks man :) I used Krylon Fusion for plastic. $3.50 for the paint and $2.00 for the masking tape for the edges. Much better than $60.00 eh.
 
As I left the house I walked by her longingly but 49 degrees at 530am is too cold when I half asleep.
 
Cleaned it for over two hours and even went so far as using q-tips for those hard to reach areas that I've never touched before. then put it on stands and lubed the chain. while on stands, checked the oil level, because I did an oil change last wednesday and it did seem a little bit under the F mark. So my dumb@$$ decides to top it off..... only to figure out its wayyyy overfilled now. I might have to use a thin thin turkey baster to get some out :(

what are the consequences to having too much oil? anyone?
 
I gathered parts to install on my SV....
Started to solder my own DeWalt/A123 light-weight battery...
(Thought about how I can modify my custom undertail after I finish the A123 battery.)
still waiting to save up for s/s front/rear brake lines from HEL before I finish the bike....

Still looking for a set of 99-02 Stomp Grips (or the equalivent shape)

rc51 starter switch
Pray tell, why?
 
Went riding today for about 120 miles... just a short ride around the area.. lol... Stopped by the dealership to get my nitrogen refilled in the tires and was told that i had about 800-1000 miles left in my back tire till I have to get a new one. So might as well replace them both. They suggested Shinko 005 Advance Radial. Any feedback on these tires or another brand that is better?
