      Good luck with the plastic repair. Those breaks look like it is gonna be a rough one to fix, but I'm sure you will get it. Great color choice by the way, everything looks better murdered out in flat black. You may want to consider polishing those rims. Polished accents look great with a flat black bike in my opinion. Check out my garage to see what it looks like if you want. I think a lot of people with flat black bikes just rattle can them, but I did a jeep like that once and it got all chalky in about 2 months in the summer sun. So when I did my bike I used a cheap quart of black epoxy paint and GM flexed and flat clear. It was a bit pricey for the clear but at least I have not had to respray it. Then again you could always get wizards black renew to bring it back to the black color when and if it chalks out also. That perma-poxy stuff is what I used to hold my mesh mod on the first time and it didn't hold too well. I ended up just getting the same stuff I used to fix my fairings at the local API. It was called fusor. http://www.lord.com/Home/ProductsSer...1/Default.aspx Good luck with everything...great find by the way.

          ok so after some long consideration i decided to keep my bike red and trade my green LEDs for some hyper white ones. i wanted to paint the bike flat black but i like the red paint it shines good and looks sweet.

              LEDs came and are all hooked up. here is the finished work(kinda. i couldnt get the mesh grille as autozone didnt sell it in the store but i did buy some bolts with strobe lights on the top and used them as windscreen bolts.

                  I highly suggest getting the Clear Alternatives "Smoked' front turn signals. They look freaking sweet compared to the clear ones. Check out the photos of my bike to see them. I think they were about $80 shipped if I remember correctly. They were a little bit hard to find but definitely worth it.

                      Great deal

                      I am sure that you could find all kinds of reasons why this was not a great deal but in reality you got a great deal. Good job.
