Put in .9 Sonic Springs with 20 weight oil. Put in new spark plugs. Managed to break one of the radiator mounting bolts that connec the radiator to the frame, so it looks like I'll have to take the radiator all the way off, get the bolt out, and replace. Also added some washers to the Givi rack so it stops rubbing on the tail pieces (which will be repaired at a much later date).

Waiting on Galfer lines to show up at my door so they can go on with new bleeder screws.
 
friday i went into work and picked up my new zero gravity dark smoke windscreen. had other stuff to buy too but didn't have enough money! haha. got a vortex front reservoir cap to go on, and i thought the other one i ordered would be for the rear reservoir but nope, it's way too big.

probably could have gotten new rubber grommets for it but i made do with the original ones.
 
Just finished polishing my pegs. Pics in the main gallary. I think they were well worth the time and effort.
 
Ordered Shark RSR2 helmet, TechSpec tank grips, and got confirmation that GreatDayToRide.com finished my seat!
 
Well not as big of mod as everyone else, but I put some Sylvania Xtrasion's on and surprisingly not to impressed. Looks the same.
Only good part is I took my hole front end apart (top half only) just for the fun of it.
I might go get the Silverstar's or Ultra. I dunno
 
picked up my pro-tek reservoir caps today. the front round one looks sweet. the one that i thought would be for the rear is not the correct size. can't return it. if anyone needs a blue anodized pro-tek rectangle reservoir cap i got one, i'd take $15.
 
Limped past it sadly and wished my tank would hurry up and get here so I can finish putting her back together.
 
Today i washed her, removed the battery for a little boost and checked out the seat cowl my girl got me for christmas. Stupid rain tomorrow= no ride yet this season.
 
Got the front piece of header pipe on.
Got the tail plastics back on.
Got the tank, airbox, and air filter back on.
Put on a Fiamm Freeway Blaster horn in place of the stocker.

Took the stock plug in and made it work.

Preview of the newly painted front forks.

Doesn't look as good as Weasel's GSXR front end but a heck of a lot cheaper. :nana:

Got the clutch adjusted properly with my new alignment tool. ;D;D
Took it off the stands.
Battery is sitting waiting to be put in.
Found out why my Givi rack has been rubbin on the grab bar. Another broke off bolt. I don't know if I'm going to bother as I need the grab bar to put the rack, signals, exhaust strap and CB antennae back on.

Problem child now:

Things yet to do:
Wire in the voltage guage.
Re-test the CB antennae.


Not too bad of a night.
 
past few days and today i went for a couple rides. but while the bike was in the garage i installed a hugger, some new handguards, and a corbin seat :)
