New Paint, Powder Coat, Parts Pieces etc ::PIC HEAVY:: Officially THUGGED!
So I finally got the T-Sport fairing painted up and decided on doing the side covers to match as well. I wanted a subtle retro feel but not too flashy, so this is what my buddy and I came up with. Kind of shot for the retro light ray thing but just a really simplified version of it. Probably be doing the tank to tank to match now that it's done and I'm really happy with it. Powder coated the Stem Nut Cover, Shock Nuts, Horn Cover & Bracket, Shifter, and Wheels. Freshened it up a bit with new All ***** bearings, new grips (I run the small diameter Sporty grips), and Vibra-Kushion Pegs (These are AWESOME Anti-Vibe pegs!) and wrapped the wheels with Metzeler Lazertech 110 Front/160 Rear which I had before but just went to the larger front tire (they perform awesome being a sport touring tire by the way if anyone is wondering). Anyhow, enjoy the pics.

Post Continued...
After the hard work it was time to enjoy some cold brews!!
Dio (The French Bulldog) wanted his OWN beer. A community bowl was unsatisfactory! I caved and he got his own. Those eyes though! The other two had no problems sharing brews out of "local watering hole".
the little guy was ready for bed shortly after LOL.

Thanks. They're Viking Quarter Circle Bags.
Thanks man. Yes sir, those are Progressive 444's, and I love them. Nice for throwing the old lady on back or carving corners. Quick twist for the spring preload adjustment for whatever I'm doing. Ride very nice for a 11.5" shock. The adjust ability is what sold me on them and glad I made the purchase.
Thanks dude. No, not at all. I've had a ton of bikes so I set out on a mission more than ever on this one. I still have a lot of plans to come for this bike as well. Still have to tackle the frontend suspension (may re-do front and rear and lift it for more clearance), lighting, drivetrain etc. One day it'll be there. Little at a time. Aesthetically it's almost done... almost lol.
