Default Waiting...
The worst part of any mod is waiting for parts. The last couple of nights I put on my new risers and beach bars and even extended the wiring on project “**** off the wife”. Even though the wiring was a bitch (I learned soooo many things) part one is now complete. Saying this, I am still waiting on my chromite cables and they won't be here until sometime around the 17th. So as the bike sits in my buddy's garage with the tank pulled and covered up, all I can do is wait which sucks but hopefully it will get done before the fall Panama City Thunder Beach. As soon as the project is done I will post pics, and before anyone says it I know...



I didn't have a camera when we were working on my bike.

Yeah that sucks, 3 months is just too long. I have nothing to bitch about if you have been waiting 3 months.

that long for parts, think I would have waited for part to come in before tearing her down. Our summer is too short to wait that long for them here in Ind...
