      Nice results .... I think you did a great job. Color combos are unique to each individual. If the green works for you, then it works.

      Congrats

        I like what you did with the rear grab bar, looks like devil horns, lol. Those are smoked front turn signals right? I'm also considering going back to the OEM mirrors-how do you like them?

          I thought Id hate it, but I really like the green accents. They need to be fixed up though, such as cleaned, some switched out, some repainted. But in the end, Im happy

          I LOVE the oem mirrors, they work great. Also thanks about the grab bar, I didnt do it, previous owner did, but Im happy with how it looked. My girl doesnt even use it though, she uses my waist/coat pockets.

            Final pictures guys, everything else Ill probably post in the black katana thread or what did you do on your bike thread, unless I do any new modifications. Lots of cosemtic work, some internal work too, Im pretty happy with the outcome. Hope you enjoyed reading this all, heres the final pictures, and some with my girl too. BTW just want to note, Im wearing a full armor vest under my jacket, works great, but adds a bit of buldge to my gut, lol. Just wanted to point that out.:
            Reminding you, this is how it started:

                  Looks great, you need a new chain though.
                  90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

                            I have debated for a while on whether or not to get the decals. I wanted the hard metal ones, but I cannot find them anywhere

                            Havent been active in a while, but a bit of an update on everything. My uncle died in a motorcycle accident over the summer, so out of respect for everyone in my family (mainly my mom) I decided not to ride for the rest of the year (this was after I took a 200 mile 2 day ride). Im now in an appartment with a car port, so once the snow is off the ground, probably around april-ish, I will bring the bike here. I need to replace my shifter, as I broke it off on accident one day when it got stuck (that was a scary ride home), and currently it is using a bolt instead of the actual foot rest. I also am considering a mesh mod, not sure whether I will or not. I also could use any reccomendations for parking safely in a carport. Theft isnt a big issue, but fear of it getting bumped or blow over will drive me crazy.
