I gotta say Koopa, if I saw your bike on the road I may wreck. Wild color scheme but it's awesome. Real good to have you here.

HAHA yeah, the color scheme is crazy. The parts that look red in the pic are actually bright orange. Its different, but it looks pretty sweet IMO.

Anything that makes you more visible to the idiots is a good thing in my book.
Great colour scheme, nice and clean.
Change sprockets as Wepps suggest (Hi Ethan) and get a quality chain - it's worth it in the long run......

Wow! Great thread. Thanks. I have done a lot of research to learn how to be as safe as possible. I will be taking the MSF course and wont be hitting the streets till I pass that. Plus, its too cold to ride here right now anyway. Any tips on maintenance throughout the winter? I plan on starting her up atleast once a week. Any thing else I should do?

Juliet wrote an excellent post on winterising your bike - send her a PM - sure she'll help.

Grab a manual from the sites in my siggy. It'll give you maintenance info.
