Default Thanks to my brother...

A bit of an odd story....I purchased my 07 1200L on April 19th....drove it to my brothers house to clean it up a little (wash & wax) since the dealer wasn't as detail oriented about cleanliness....anyway...a couple hours later I get a phone call from my company that I was being sent 14 hours away to work for the next couple months....of course I can't take my bike....&()#)@#^@**&... this is where the thank you comes in.....while I am gone, my brother is kind enough to let me leave my bike as his house....and starts adding the little changes I wanted done to make the bike my own....nothing fancy....new SE Slash-outs....(he says they sound awsome)...a new brawler seat....and new tank badges....the only thing I have planned now is a laydown tag bracket....but it won't get installed until the permanant tag is installed...I thought I would post a pic he sent to today to show the progress....but I just had to say THANKS BUBBA...one more time........

What tank emblem is that? I am thinking to swap mine with this.

I think I know which emblem you have, you know what, it fits your black color tank very well, nice match.

Wow, that is one hell of a good brother! Don't be surprised if the odometer reads a few thousand m higher when you return though [8D]

I think if he's really nice he would get the 1K service completed for you and have it ready for the 5K.

Beautiful bike! Great choice and nice selection of upgrades. What is it they say about absence and the heart... S**t who wants to ride a d**n heart anyway - just keep counting down the days!
