So unlike most of you who are out enjoying the summer weather, my life generally sucks during the summer. It was 113 degrees today. Riding in this weather is like a blast furnace and doesn't make for a comfortable ride… so let the summer mods begin. Still waiting for parts to show up, but I received my rims, grips and brake side forward control. Had to throw them out here for you all to see. All these parts have been powder coated with a wrinkle black coat. Lot's of parts still coming. I'll keep this post as my official build site and will post pics throughout. Stay tuned...

I feel ya about the heat, but this time of year we have 100% chance of rain every day to go with the heat and when it stops it just bumps up the humidity from 95% to 99%.
