I got bored, tried to take pictures, this is what turned out:

















Recently done: The CBR pegs for cleaner looks, SS front brake line for more consistent braking feel, removed decals on the tail for cleaner looks.

What's up with your bar-ends?  Or... Should I say bar-end.

I have no idea. I walked out this morning and one of them was gone. I have no idea where it went. This is the second one I've lost too... wtf?

SRSLY?  WTF?  Someone must be stealing them...

I was thinking about trying to find some SVS bar-ends...  Since they're shorter...  I probably won't bother though.

Oh yeah. It's around here somewhere... I'll look for it tonight when I'm doing my laundry. I used a Canon PowerShot SD100 Digital Elph in "Manual" mode for these. Lugging around that A-1 would have been impossible! :laugh:

I lost the first one on the road between Austin and Waco because i kept having to regrip. My hand kept rubbing against the barend when I did this and it eventually fell out.

RIP RICH! We'll miss you buddy!

Phaedrus

Richard died in a motorcycle accident that was at no fault of his own.  We lost a good friend and good member of this board.  Though Rich may be gone, his legacy will live on here.

I followed the method Turd Ferguson gave me: Peel them off using your hands, and then use WD-40 and a rag to wipe the residue off. Took me 15 minutes or so to do both sides.

Your bike is soooooo awesome!!!!  I love it!!!!

There's still a lot of stuff I need to do to get it "right" in my eyes. But thanks!  :thumb:

Coming soon: Kat shock and polished wheel lips, CBR pegs for the passenger spot
Later: Yoshimura RS-1 Stainless oval exhaust, Kat600 rear wheel & Pilot Powers
More later (maybes): Repaint the case guards gloss black (get rid of battle damage), rear sets, stainless steel rear line, SV headlight

Not including the Maybes & tires, it should run me about $85 for the polished lips, shock, CBR peg (just need one more), and exhaust. I can swing that when I get a job. Sweet.
