I installed a new aftermarket mirror that my wife broke off. It looks and fits fine but it vibrates more than the stock one. I think it is missing the metal plate that goes on the back of the glass. It's just a bit annoying. Get what ya pay for I suppose.
I also got some new graphics to put on, I just need to remove the adhesive from the old ones before I can put them on. I can't find anything that works. Carb cleaner softens it up but doesn't dissolve it. I'll post some pictures when I'm done.never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself sigpic2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2016

Just got it back from the shop, got a new ignition switch, oil, filter. had the fuel from the crankcase removed. $300+ for everything; my seat lock is busted and I have the cable removed and Oakey rigged to get into it. Paid $19 for a new license plate and tag, kinda bitter-sweet since my fairings were messed up from being layed down and high-sided. Thinking of starting a new theme on the bike.Grab life by the horns and punch it in the nose!

Ordered a chain, sprockets and some saddle bags. Going to a 520 chain with 15 front and 50 rear. Me thinks that she could use some bodywork and paint which I might try and do while I'm waiting for my stuff to come in.
I know, I know, thread is useless with out pics LOL

Struggled with some decal adhesive. I peeled the decals off and the glue is a ***** to get off. I worked on it for hours. I did get most off but DAMN is that a pain in the ***! The tecnique that I found worked was a sharp plastic scraper (credit card) is easiest on the paint. Carb cleaner is the only thing that'll loosen the glue - it doesn't dissolve - booger city. Nasty job.Last edited by akarob; 05-21-2010, 09:50 PM.
