Donate to someone who needs the parts, I've been lurking watching your build unfold and your work is amazing.

I think a windshield with "The Cheapskate Project" etched in it would look cool!

Maybe they can do the Batman logo, but a subtle "Project Cheapskate" at fairing level (where it would be visible JUST above the line of the front fairing) either off on one side or under the logo...something unobtrusive, but that any of us on the forum who saw you would know exactly what it meant and who's sweet ride it was?

Look at me, making more work for the etchers! DOH!

Duh on the batman logo. Didn't even dawn on me. Whatever you want batman. The logo with the subtle "cheapskate" at fairing level as vhmike73 would be easy enough to do. You're obviously a bada$$ in the garage, but are you pretty artistic too? Any of your drawings, or other logo ideas, send them on over to me, and most likely that will be now problem either. Can't wait to see it all done!

Well here are the final "Builders Photos".







Got about a 10 mile ride in, letting her cool down, and will start checking fluid levels, and checking a few nuts and bolts. About 92 degrees outside and only have a full coverage helmet so I didn't really get to hear the "Wild Pigs" as well as I'd like but she seemed to run pretty well and no vibrations.

Looks like I need to replace the Jiffy Stand. The bike leans over way to far. I have two 2x4's under the stand to take these photos. I heard that 2007's leaned to far and had their stands replaced under warranty, but it sounds like BS to me.
