Thanks, I've been trying to decide what to paint it since I bought it two years ago. I never keep a bike stock color and this was the color they happened to cut the best deal on in stock. When it's clean and a sunny day it's gorgeous. Otherwise I don't care for it much.

Hey Gartec, those Baja Design lights? I want those but DAAAMN the amount of money for them. You making you're own mounting bracket for them or you doing the Big Bear Performance mount?
