And the heavens opened. . .

And an angel appeared. . .

And brought down gifts from above. . .

and it was good.

Looking good man! You need an orange cowl to go with that...

you know when youve been tango'd

Got it running.
Put some gas in, hit the button, and she started purrin'.

First ride'll have to wait for morning.
Still got a couple of things to finish(repaint the cans, replace the scraped front brake lever, etc) but she's now mechanically ready to run.
Thanks again to all who donated, it really helped.
Jeff

So far suggested mods include;
Black out the rearsets
Orange cowl
Remove stickers

So what else?

gas cap looks funny is it an aftermarket one? it looks like its sticking up its maybe just the angle.

oh yeah black gas cap would rock too

If you're opposed to the chop - perhaps painting the beer tray orange as well as a cowl. Definitely needs a cowl.

maybe a flash new seat cover. Someone posted up this company that will do custom seat covers. Perhaps one like he got with Orange stitching as opposed to the red
