Hey y'all, just got my first motorcycle and it's a beauty. Finally got out of the car modification/fabrication scene for motorcycles and boy am I glad I made that choice! Bikes are so much more fun, as long as the whether is good that is  . This bike is in great shape but is screaming for some enhancements.

Tell me you get out of a car when you go to the grocery store and felt like you just had a thrill ride. Already doing modifications to the bike--new bar end mirrors, new grips, and having the tank painted (fell over the week after I bought it because of hot, leaning asphalt, and a flimsy kickstand foot) and a new or modified kickstand. Any suggestions on color would be appreciated--I am thinking white with a black stripe down the middle--but I have a gold frame.

Also, if anyone has any need or want for some 3d/CAD designed parts for your bike, I'm your man. I'm glad to help out and do some stuff free for the community.
