Default so close.

I started stripping the paint off my rims this weekend, and polishing them up, I think I need to use a stronger paint stripper though. The one I'm using now works okay I suppose, but it doesn't get ALL the paint off, which means it takes me about 3 hours to do just one side of one rim due to having to scrub really hard with the steel wool. Anyway, I have my left side done, and I'll work on the right side next time I get a few days off. All I've got planned after this is a little bit of powder-coat work, exhaust, and I'm still trying to find a full set of carbon fiber frame sliders. Already have flush mount front blinkers <green lens>, integrated led tail light <green lens>, a green chrome sport tech windscreen, K&N airfilter, carbon fiber levers and mirrors. Going to order the carbon fiber Yosh exhaust, hopefully that's not overdoing the carbon fiber lol.

Having a local company powder-coat my rear peg brackets and pegs, as well as a few other things flat black. Soon as that's done I'll get her wet and clean her up for some pic's. Peace.
