i am not irish but i gotta be honest i do kinda dig the little guy. plus i love the green and cant afford to change it and get it back to the way it is now. the paint on this thing is awesome. the pics dont do it justice.

thanks for the welcomes and i am sure i will be hanging out and asking questions

Green looks sharp. Not sold on the seats or the little Leprechaun guy. But certainly a good starting point.

Welcome to the forum!

thanks man. also the seats are gonna be the first thing to go.

honestly if the paint wasnt so freakin bad *** then i would get rid of the whole irish theme but the rest of the paint makes it worth it to keep it.

does nayone have any thoughts on loring these bikes

Welcome to the site, Barry! The paint does look good. I'd have a hard time cutting that up, too.
On lowering, I suppose it depends on how much lower you need it. Is your seat at the stock thickness? It looks kinda thick to me.
If it's not, and you really need to lower it you'll need to pick up a lowering link for the rear and then drop the front a little bit. If you do a search on lowering, it should come up with details.

I like it, even the little guy. Check out Sargent seats for it, they are comfortable. If your in the Mid TN area you should check out the Nashville sportbike meeting up group on the web, that is if you like to ride curvy roads.
