Default Congrats!! To me and the wife
Today is loan paper burning day, as of 9:18 am this morning Ole Whitey belongs to us. Now got to get her ready to remove inner fairing and get it painted. Gonna do the hydro dip, burl oak wood grain and have the top of the saddlebag lids done the same. Cost about the same as just having the fairing painted.

Thumbs up RE: Loan Done!
Yeah Brother, that's a gooooooooood feeling! Experienced it many times myself. Got a year left on my 2012, then, as you are doing, a custom paint job.

Please post photos of your bike after paint. That scheme just sounds all kinds of cool........ And different!

Ride Safe-

-Ray

That's gotta be a good feeling. I finally have the scratch to pay mine off, but with the economy, I'm afraid to do it. Gotta have a safety net.
