An oil well? Why do you ask?

Just bought a few weeks ago. Love it. Black forks were installed by dealer before I bought it. Sets the bike off a little.

I was in the shop today. Fender and struts are ready for filling/sanding/painting. Here are a few pics I took with my smart phone (sorry for the poor quality):

I picked up my bike from the shop today.

I'm absolutely satisfied with the modifications. Only downside is the paint job which shows a clearly visible orange peel effect at both sides of the fender. Definitely something to discuss with the guys at the shop on Monday.

So far I have experienced no negative effects of the lowering kit that has been installed, but I think that I will raise the tail by 0.5 inches for a better look.

I used the last rays of sunshine today to take some quick shots. Hope you like the results as much as I do.

Thanks, Mario. I love your approach, too. Very bobber-esque.

Greets to Holland,
