That's the question I'm struggling with right now...
Nah no decals. I was debating putting just 'HONDA' on each side of the belly but honestly I'm pretty much done.

New sprockets came today, so hopefully chain tomorrow or saturday. I just want to install it and be completely done with this project.

thats good to hear that you are finally done. Though i think some decals would be nice, but thats my opinion and your bike. Have fun!

I just like how you focus on the lines of the bike without being distracted by reading something.

I need to get some tank grips, and am debating getting either clear or black. I just worry the clear will yellow over time, but the black will detract a lot from the tank

I don't think you'd have to worry about yellowing too much with newer products. Especially if you keep it out of the sun and bad weather.

Besides, by the time it does yellow (if it does), you would have gotten your money's worth, so buying another set wouldn't be that big of a deal.

My chain ended up getting lost in the mail, so I had to order another one and file a claim with paypal since the ebay seller was being an ***.

I also just bought a set of black stompgrips. I thought about clear ones but just wasnt digging the idea, so hopefully black will look alright.

Thanks.

The projectors were a pain to install, took a lot of finessing but was definitely worth it. I doubt I'd do it again though.

The bike is done as far as I'm concerned, Everything runs great and its a great ride.

One of the most beautiful f4i's, and bikes for that matter, that I've ever seen ! Good work man ! Friggin awesome.

I know you already semi-answered this, but when you say "g5 projectors" on ebay, do you mean g5 as in the car, because that's what comes up for me. So I guess what i'm asking is: is that the right one ? Or do you mean g5 as in the model/brand of the projector ? It's not like a universal kit right, its for the g5 car and you used it for this?
