    Just remember, If you don't have the time to do it right you better have the time to do it over. This seriously applies to paint.

            Ive got the headlight wired up with removable connectors to my factory harness so i didnt have to cut anything...My goal is to do this without hacking the bike up...The headlight works good its nice and bright and has built in signals...Got the levers on...Still gota put the sliders on the front and rear and the shifter,Waitin on the grips so i can put the bar ends on...Then im gona order some new pegs and a post rear wheel and do some paint work...Swingarm,forks,rotors,calipers,and repaint the wheels gloss black with a polished lip....Still have to find a way to mount the gauges and who knows what else ill come up with.

                      That's the same route I went with mine, I have all the OEM parts aside from a windscreen and exhaust.

                            Just ordered a 4.5 Post Rear Wheel off Ebay and a Busa Rotor for my post wheel swap...Got em both for 120 bucks shipping included...The wheel even came with the crush drive...Both are in great condition...The wheel will be getting painted anyways and im going to polish the lip to match my front...Also just ordered new pegs...might buy a reservoir cover i dont know yet...Kinda like the stock black one...But after that ill have all the parts to finish my bike except the gauge mount...All there will be left to do is some paint work...And im going to do some performance mods later

                                Thanks bud...Ive been trying to get some work done on mine so i can ride it as soon as it gets warm...ive got a part or 2 left i want to order and then im going to start painting some stuff...Later after im done with the looks of the bike im going to jet it and put an ignition advancer and a shift kit on it...I was going to resprocket it but it already revs high enough on the interstate and i ride it quite often so im just going to leave that alone.
