Looks good!

Nice bike!!! I agree with Jeff though, white wheels look generic unless its on an all white bike. imo......

Re: all my winter mods are done

i needed to "brighten" the bike up, it was to dark and boring. and im not into "bling" so polishing or chrome was out of the ?

Re: all my winter mods are done

Don't get me wrong, I like the look of white wheels, as long as they are on someone else's bike and I'm not the guy cleaning them.

Re: all my winter mods are done

long story short, the bike had high mount moriwakis on it when i bought it from my buddy. my wife wanted to be able to ride. so i needed rear pegs. my buddy wanted an extra 500 bucks for the moris ( which i knew was dirt cheap as they were only 3 months old) but i had to pay for a trip to mrytle beach and back to go get the bike, so i was short on cash. had he still lived here and i wouldnt have had to spend an extra 600 bucks driving there and back i would have gotten them. im going to be saving for a low mount sato system next. i must admit though even with what has been done the bike runs excellent ( ive gone -1 on the front sprocket, unhooked the flapper, did the soft rev mod, added a 4mm shim to the rear shock, went to a 180 rear tire, and addeda PCiiiRUSB withthe accel pump feature activated.the biek runs quite well about onthing left that i am gonan do is the Satos, steel braided lines, and try to lighten the beast up.
