Installed my other Pazzo lever, clean and lubed the chain. Got a little gas leak to identify this weekend. Started her up.
 
Yesterday I drained the battery by leaving the parking lights on, so I installed a trickle charger not unlike a battery tender Jr. Charged it and rode away, fixing an errant loose wire that had caused my blinker not to work.
 
Not exactly, today but, the last couple of days.

Installed the M4 Titanium, full system from svracingparts. Check (thanks blair)
Installed PowerCommander. Check. Thanks weraclassifieds
Installed Dynojet Quickshifter. Check.
Changed gearing to correspond with next track. check.
Smiled while riding it. Check
 
Finally put on the TechSpec tank grips that I've had for a month. I've been waiting for it to warm up some and it was almost 80 today. Added a little hair dryer heat for good measure and they stuck pretty well. Then I pulled my license place, all the turn signals, and mirrors and then taped up the brake lights and headlights in prep for a track day this weekend.
 
Today, I pulled her out of the garage for the first ride of the season. Started by checking and adjusting tire pressure, I then did a quick check over everything, looking for loose fasteners or anything out of place, checked the oil, lubed the chain and loaded the tank bag with some basic tools and zip ties, just in case, then went out for a nice long ride. About 52 degrees, sunny and did 160 miles through some decent country roads, including about a mile or two of dirt road so we could look at a camp for sale. Was a great day!
 
I finished installing a 06 ZX6r Radial MC.

I put it (mostly) back together after rewiring my HIDs (moving the ballasts to under the seat).

I also put a FH016AA (Mosfet) Regulator on from a Kawasaki.

Now suddenly my high beam HID doesnt work. If I switch the leads from low to high, low works, but high still doesnt so I believe my bulb is burnt out (or I managed to damage it somehow). So big thumbs down there.

This weekend Im hoping to get time to put in new fork seals and emulators.
 
Put on my 1" riser links, PAIR valve delete, Rhino lined my rear sets and my passenger pegs. Anyone want a set of Vortex lowering links? I think the heights are stock, .5" lower and 1" lower 20$ shipped. PM me.
 
Okay, alright. It was almost embarrassingly expensive, but then, since I've never had anything anodized, I'm not sure. I went to a place called Alexandria Metal Finishers, and for chemical stripping, bead blasting and hard anodizing of all the parts you see, it was a paltry $291.00.

Hopefully it lasts.
