Default RE: I FINALLY got it!

not too bad, I only rode it once, its cold here now, anywhere from 18F to 45F. As I said in another thread awhile back, this bike has a few minor flaws that I will be fixing. One front turn signal is broke somewhat and I ordered flushmounts for fixing that. The right side fairing has some scratches that can be easily sanded out and repainted, but apparently the trick is finding the paint, as we speak I have been calling part stores around here and NOONE can mix the paint, and I just got off the phone with the dealer and a pint of that paint is $109.95 plus shipping[:@]. Ill also be ordering a fender eliminator kit. I will say this though, I loved my 500R until I started this thing up, I believe Ill have alot of fun next year with this!
