Rode it to the shop and back. Was hitting every bump in the road I could see.

I forgot how nice a ride it is with the air shocks!

Finally got my stage 1 kit put on last night. Vance and Hines short shots, and 587 outlaw A/C, and flash tuner made its way to my scooter last night around 10:00. Also put smoke brake cover and turn signal covers on. I then removed the lower belt guard. I have some thunder torque 158w's, but i wanted to try it out before i remove the baffles and insert those. Ill get a better pic up later. It was late.

I painted the cover red that is under the 48, but may change that to a little brighter red. We'll see.

I rode to work today, it was foggy as all get out. I needed a windshield wiper on my visor.
