I have more coin in my mods than the out the door price of the lo when I bought it.

I am working on stretching the rear fender and I want an open primary maybe this fall. After that, I think the fuel tank will be all that is left stock, hmmmm.

Good luck with your adventure.

Well, the first 35 years can now be reffered to as "The Dark Years". Find some biker friends and get out there and ride. Stay safe, have fun. Good times ahead, you'll find this was the best money you've spent to date!

Dont worry about the accessories catalog, thats the starter kit, lol. Wait till you get to the internet shopping and meet our good Dr Drew.

Dr. Drew?...Ohhhhh...YES!!...Heard nothing but good from members here on his service. Read a thread about EFI somewheres on here. Dude knows his *8hit. Yes...parking lots right down near the speedway...going to take advantage of that.

Ahhh and the madness ensues! Congrats on the new bike. Have fun and be careful out there. It's a dangerous world. Practice a lot and keep your eyes open. Your life has just changed for the better! And your wallet got a little thinner...
