*bling bling*
Very nice ;D

I got my blue reflective in yesterday..gonna do them this weekend. Any tips for getting them on right and easy?
 
Well, I'll back log a little. Last week on Andrea's 07 650 N, sonic spings in the front with 15 weight oil, GSXR 1000 rear shock with associated plastic removal, rear fender eliminator with flush mount GP turn signals, new rubber front and back, Conti Road Attacks, Motrax bar-end mirrors, and a custom stubby can with custom built baffles. I was a little nervous with the can as I had never heard of anybody using the baffle design that I was thinking about, but I ran the math on it, (I have an acoustics back ground) and it seemed like it would work, and guess what it, does. I was really pumped. Oh yeah, an oil change too. Today on my bike, 03 1000 N, stuby cans (same baffle design) rear fender eliminator with flush mount turn signals (different from Andrea's so we're not too alike) new fork seals and oil, and new front rubber (also CRA). Tomorow, oil change and put the front end back together then ride the thing home from work. I put the bike in the shop at work to putts with it in my free time. I need to get it out as I have a big show coming in, hence busting but and getting everything done. Next week, Motrax front turn signals on my bike as soon as I get the little adaptor plates. I'll post picks as soon as I get off my but and figure out how to do so.
 
Rode old creek road down to morro bay to meet a very good friend and his family for breakfast. Luv that road.
Realized that I dont have an oil container @ my new house yet. Have 2050 miles since last change, so its about that time.
Looked @ the box on top of the tool box that has the emulators I got for my bday from the fiance last week. I am a lazy ******* for not having those in already, its just been too nice to put the bike up on stands for a couple days while the rods are brazed.
Oh, and I will be filling her up tomorrow
 
Well, I didn't do anything today but tomorrow is maintenance day for my 7,500 mile mark. Rotella 15W-40 dino, oil filter, clean/lube chain, adjust chain if needed, adjust clutch, adjust cables, wash and wax to get all the bug guts off. My '07 red is going to be sexy AND clean.
 
I rode it from my uncles house where I have been storing it to my house. I got a chance to fix my rear brake lever problem (rear brake didnt engage the brake light, found the switch and noticed it was adjustable so I adjusted that and now the brake lever makes the light come on fine...I tweaked my brake lever as it was bent a bit from the po. I took off my p/s seat grab handle cause i wanted to see how it looked without and it is still off for now. Started cleaning it a bit but it got dark, This was my 2nd time ever riding it and my first time working on a bike ever. Tomorrow I plan to go on a nice ride with a buddy for a few hours I Cant wait I love this bike it is really comfortable and handles very well.
 
Not sure if this will work, but my little point and shoot does video.


That works pretty good;D
 
Lowers on my 01 and a good wash...wow, she looks good!
