Having a solid, well maintained bike is a beautiful thing! Congrats! I love finding those bikes that are either virgin, or so well maintained they might as well be!

Congrats again, and welcome to the forums from PA!

Definitely! That was the main reason I purchased the bike. The previous owner didnt even upgrade the air filter, which is usually mod #1 on a new bike purchase. Previous owner was less than mechanically inclined as, for example, I found small chips on the top of the tail light cover, all the way across it.. looks like he was hammering a wedged screwdriver trying to get it off... A few small things like that here and there, but nothing to worry about mechanically.

The obsession is already taking hold, this weekend i'm putting her on the lift and stripping/painting the ugly stock inidigo/black paint on the tank and fenders.

From there...sky's the limit!

Also, once again, thanks for the warm welcomes!
