Change I can believe in!



So I finally got around to putting all the plastics on. It took a bit of work but I finally got everything on. I was sent a front fender from a 2005 so I will sell that on eBay and get my tank and my old front fender painted black.

The fitment is pretty good. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. I still have a few screws I need to get to finish it off but it's all secure and ready to ride. All I have left is the xenons kit that came in the mail today as well as the red tire stripes and the painted tank/fender, and this bad boy will be all done (FINALLY!).

I should really rename this blog "The Black Bullet" soon...

Toys in the mail! All the necessary componenets came in and were put on the bike last week. rear Sets, handlebar clip ons, mirrors, windshield, exhaust hanger, and brake/cluctch levers. The final piece to the puzzle was the plastics. Well Wednesday morning a gigantic box from Guangzhou, China arrived.

The gigantor box


The pieces inside


The only damage I found, one small tiny nick that I'll use detail paint on


The whole she-bang, 13 pieces (but no heat shielding or fasteners!!)


This will be the final product when the tank is painted to match the body
