Here's the 98 I just bought off of my son. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet but it's here. OL said she won't get on the back of it, I told her that's what the EG is for.

Damn you Baldy54! I was content with my 1200 till I saw your red calipers. Man, they look great! Now I'm going down that rabbit hole and considering a 2nd set of calipers to paint. I don't want to paint the OEM's that I have; those will be put away.

Anyway, great job on your bike and I'm sure it was a lot more fun b/c you did it with your son. Perfect age too because when they're 8-12 yrs old you're still a superstar in their eyes!

Very nice. Looks like a fun project in the making!

Other than the engine guard and swingarm bags, I haven't done anything else. I just got the bike last week, but I'm getting the itch to add some flare!
