Default Yay! Bike's painted and back in one piece!

Got my carburetion issues(s) fixed with a re-clean and new plugs, got my fairings painted and installed, put everything together, and rode to work this AM! I'm stoked! I don't have the stickers on the side fairings yet, nor have I yet put the retro-reflective rim tape/stripes on yet, but those are details I can live with putting on when I get a chance.

It's still cold and rainy/snowy here many/most days, but I don't even care; I'm riding. I never have posted up any pics of my bike on account of it was so ugly and barely in one piece when I got it, but maybe now I'll have to take a couple pics.

Okay, here's a quick pic from as soon as I got home from work:


Front/upper, side, and rear/tail fairings are freshly-painted. Still need wing stickers for the side fairings, and I think I'm going to get some bulk black retro-reflective sticker material and over-lay the black wing feathers on the fairings with it. Not sure whether I'll overlay the feathers on the tank, too, or not. What do you think?

Nice yellow and black. Did you paint yourself?

Thanks! I did the side panels myself, but I chickened out on the upper and had a guy with a paint shop do it for me.
