Picked up my first bike...

Thank you. It's far from perfect, but it is ten times better than when I bought it.
I received the fairings and rear seat yesterday, so I'll work on them today and tomorrow (my car project got postponed for a week).
I ordered a lot of what I need last night. I picked up:
- integrated tail light
- new tires
- integrated turn signals/mirrors
I still need to find a good headlight, but that should be it. I'm going to try to work around needing a new fairing stay, but I may end up buying one of those too after today. We'll see. I'll take some pictures if I make any progress.

I made some good progress today. I finally cut out my filler panel and gave it a trial fit. I'm very happy with it. I'm now working on the prep for paint (hopefully next weekend).

I also prepped and painted the front fairings. Once I get the remaining pieces, I'll put everything back together.

Nothing too new to report. I installed the integrated tail light and it looks very good. The previous owner had some sort of jimmy-rigged contraption on the previous tail light to make it integrated. There were wire splicers everywhere. He even had some wires simply twisted together. It was great. So, I pulled all of that crap off and soldered the new light in the right way.
I also started prepping the undertail. I might be able to get some progress pictures tonight.
