Just a couple more. Pardon my enthusiasm. The Bike has been locked away from view in storage for the past 6 months... Very exciting times.

Congrats man, the bike looks sweet! I guess we take it for granted here in Texas that we can ride year round w/o any worry of cold weather. I'm diggin' the seat cowl you have as well.

PS: Your girl is smokin'!!

Make sure you clean your chain too, if they use magchlor for the snow melt there, it will destroy your chain before you know what's happening.

They just use a salt & sand mix around here. The roads around my town aren't too bad, thanks to a salt shortage in the area this winter. I washed the chain, swingarm and undertail after the ride. Had a big of crap on the pipe too.

Dude the bike and the girl looks killer. I had my F4 out most of the weekend and it was great. Seeing your Targa cowl make me want mine even more. They say it's going to be here on Friday, but who know's.

The undertail is from Mototeck. The company was sold off though, so it might be hard to get one of these undertails now.

I have mixed feelings about the targa tail. At certain angles it looks great, others, it looks clumsy. I ordered it in yellow and had to get it repainted anyways because the yellow did not match. Even now, i don't think it quite matches.

And the girl is my amazing girlfriend!! She has been riding for a bit now. Started out on my F2, but we just bought a 2008 Ninja 250R in green for her.
