Nice bike and paint color. My inner fairing is in shop for painting (Crimson Red Sunglo), hopefully a day or two more and I'll have it back and installed.

Yes, it's pretty expensive out in CA. Went from SoCal to NC, although I miss the riding weather.

Your ride is coming along nicely.

Yes they are Ness. This was the hardest part of the upgrades. It took me almost a week to decide on the mirrors. I wanted a smaller profile but I'm glad I went with a larger mirror.
