I got it back a couple of days ago with the new tire put on and the rounded screw taken off. Cost me $170 total. Because of the rain I haven't been able to take off the plastic and paint at all yet. When I checked the weather the other day, it was saying that it would be raining until Friday of this week so if it stays that way, I won't be able to paint or anything until this weekend.


Anyone know where to find flush mount blinkers and such? I got a couple of links but they all look like cheap websites so I wasn't sure of the quality they'd put out. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know! I'd also like to get a new headlight and back light..if that's even possible.

She took real good care of it...we had Evil powdercoat the rearsets and we used 05-636 foot pegs...she custom made her rear taillight...she loved it and I had a blast riding it as well...

Awe, that's awesome. Yeah, I guess it's good that I can customize how this looks however I want to. I know I HAVE to do something to it or else it will just keep looking bad, haha. I have high hopes for it though and I think I'll impress some people when I get done with it :]

...if the damn weather ever permits.

as long as it is mechanically sound and you are out riding that's all that matters...you can make it pretty over the winter time...
