Default I finally did it.
Upgrades are as follows.

Vance and Hines Shortshots, only because of the price from my 1SG.
Vance and Hines V02 Naked air cleaner
FuelPak.

Got everything done started the bike and the rain started. So will have to wait till tomorrow to get on the road and see how she feels.

Next is a set of Mini apes, then start saving for the 1200 kit!

Then Paint, Ocean Blue or Katme Kopper from House of kolors?

What do you think?

That is what a friend of mine said.

I am going to wait till I get the tank lift and wire tuck done then really think hard about it and get some samples to play with.

But I am also leaning towards blue with orange or copper accents.

Blue with black outlining the copper. Id say about 80% of the painted areas blue. that way it wont be too much copper. Too much and the great blue color wont pop as much. The designs are limitless. you could do a small design, lots of stripes, swirls, blades, wires.
