Looks like it is really coming together. Are you going to go with the same paint?

paint will be black..with red or green tribal flames..havent decided yet.

and theres not to much work left..hardest parts are out of the way..just gotta maybe find a cheap tank..that things going to take years to pull out.


i replaced the for seals..but one of them must have been bad or something..cause its leaking already..so i have to do that once they get here..sometime this week..

and make an undertray and wait for my winscreen to get here..then i think i can go riding!

One quick tip - make sure your camera isn't in a "Macro" mode - look for a flower icon - that frequently can cause your blurry pix.

Nice work so far!

coming along nicely! looking forward to seeing the finished paint.

just curious, what gear did you have on when you went down at sturgis? and do alot of sportbikes actually go to that?

The cold part ;-) Grand Forks - First true riding season coming up - I'm pumped to send the wife and kids to the lake early on Friday, then I get to ride on down with no kiddie bathroom breaks, snack breaks, dog barking, etc..., Just me and the nice open North Dakota/Minnesota straightaways...

nice..were not to far apart..we might have to ride sometime!


and a ton of bikes go down during sturgis..not so many sport bikes i guess..but in general..there is so many people a day that die.

but i was wearing my icon mainframe helmet, my icon merc jacket, and my icon riding jeans..(i guess i like icon ) and some leather gloves.



hopefully its put back together and insured with full coverage by mid april.
