that's the overall plan..lol...the bolts will be changed to black too..just didn't have time last night

really only benefit is that the tank is now keyless....functionally...no...just that it's keyless and it looks pretty! but that's sort of part of what i am doing so i am okay with that!

yeah you know i don't really care though...because i am having the bike painted next fall...

there was a reason behind it...so essentially it'll be a black tank with a red base and a black cap...and the red anno matches other red anno i have the bike so it just doesn't match the honda red...but it matches the other red accents...

it'll all pull together...one step at a time...

And what a tease! There's no write up yet in your diary... and I ordered some Pazzo levers, saw you had some (which look sexy), but there wasn't a write up on their install either.

LOL...thanks for pointing that out Lrn...ugh...i know...i have to do one for the pazzos and gas cap...really its not that hard...just finding the time...MAYBE i can get both up by today...

both installs are very easy....maybe 10 minutes or so for both of them and do wonders for the overall look of the bike...

Well, if you don't worry too much about the Pazzo's, I can tell you now that I'll be doing a full "How-To" in the forum about them probably this next tuesday... when mine are slated to arrive.

Oh... and do you have any pictures of the underside of the gas cap? I just wanted to see how the thing seals.
