Default Long afternoon

Just got done changing my handlebars to WO575's. It's a little bit of a job, not hard but just takes time. Got wires routed, changed out controls to chrome, Magnum Chromite cables etc. I had the gas tank and everything else that could get scratched covered during the process. Installed the fairing. Mounting the windshield back on and I dropped the screwdriver point first onto my fender and took a chip out of my paint. I had removed the covering to take pictures during the job. Made for a long afternoon of starring at the first damage to my paint.

Hey woosh,

Sorry to hear about the chip. Just look at it this way, you got that out of the way. Something is bound to happen sooner or later, especially if you ride them.

It is a sharp looking bike!!
