Great pics, lighting and contrast look like you did some work with them, or did the camera actually do that well? And thanks for the fork boot link earlier, I've been thinking of doing a black front end on my 1200C, and that's about the only way not to have a bit of steel showing on the forks..

I went on a couple rides. Went around with my BIL.
Took a video for a clip of the rush exhaust (sounds great even on a GoPro) and finally removed the tank l, and cleaned up my USB charger install. Now it's only on with the headlight. Now it won't drain the battery as it sits!

Last week, Thursday, took a day off from work just to take the bike out.
First time after winter. Weather was so nice and warm here in NYC.
Naturally again needed the starter help, as it barely turned on it's own.
No panic anymore! Just opened the cover, pluggeg start help ( Antigravity Micro Start ) positive cable to + on battery, negative to bolt on head... pushed the start and WROOOM , she is alive !
Drove for couple of hours, sadly my local DIY wash place was not open, so she is still dusty...
Checked the tire pressures, both low (!) , filled both tires to correct PSI. And filled the tank.
Drove gently and carefully, as I haven't been riding for 3 months.
All seems OK, can't wait for the weather to stay warm for more than few days.
Came back home smiling.... ! :-)
