i did read through that thread, but i also haven't been able to hit this site when i've been out of work yet. the work filter prevents most pictures from being shown. i'll check it out later at home.

Damaged my right side muffler cover 5 years ago when I dropped the bike. Took the one off my parts bike. It was rusted and pitted from what looks to be battery acid. Sanded off the heavy stuff with a wire sanding wheel and paper. When the weather warms I'll apply the paint.

Thats a heck of a price for the plugs man! I am gonna look for a set for mine.
Today I put new rubber on my cane, and took her for a quick spin. Tires took a bit to get used to, but it was also wet on the ground so I had to take it real easy. I think it was hard to get used to cause the old tires wer shaped like a triangle LOL. Oh well so far for the price they seem pretty good!(Shinko 009 Ravens BTW) I will do a lil thread on theses as soon as I get my bike all legit and stuff. This was also my first time mounting bike tires, and man is it alot harder then car tires. If the weather turns around I will change the turn signal light as well as one of em is burnt out. And I will check the plugs on the bike to make sure they are gapped correctly.
