She's almost as good as new (or will be, soon)

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Finally getting things going again, paychecks coming in, etc (Even though I'm looking for a new job)

Things I have:

New chain
New Fork Seals
15w Fork Oil
New oil/filter (picking up Thurs)
Custom rear seat cowl (finishing the primer/sanding/painting on Thurs, courtesy of Cafeboy!)
Brand new tail plastics from an '06 (Gonna take the stickers off though, cuz they say GS500F.. which I don't have)
Etymotic ER6i headphones (once I get my ipod back from best buy.. damned warranty work takes FOREVER)

Things I've ordered and should have soon:

Front end from a '94 to replace my blown forks (No thanks to SRADKneedragger or UPS, big thanks to SPCTerry!)(Explain to me how UPS can justify 4 days to ship a package the equivalent of a 3 hour drive?)
OEM Rear rim that's been widened to 4.5" (Won't go on until I can afford to have it powdercoated black instead of purple, and put new tires on it)
Rear Sprocket (39t, stock)
Hella Optilux 2500 Dual Headlight setup (Hoping for an increase in visibility from stock)
Yuasa YB10L-B2 (Stock battery, mine died in the cold)
Lunchbox, flange, and proper jets for lunchbox/slipon
Integrated/clear rear (After I finish paying Dave)

Things she still needs:

Some can to go with Srinath flange to make a slipon (Anyone got one? Anyone? Bueller.... Bueller.... Bueller?)
Rear subframe straightened so those tail plastics can be mounted (I'll be coming to see you, Lee)
Battery Tender JR. (Doesn't actually need it YET.. but I want one)
Bar end mirror (Just one.. don't wanna drop $100 on 2 CRGs.. but the stock mirrors don't work well with my '89 clipons that have been custom bent by none other than our own Turd Ferguson)
A can of chain lube, and some kerosene for cleaning

As soon as the new sprocket gets here, I'll put it on, along with the new chain. Rebuilding the forks on Thursday, along with finishing the cowl, then installing the new forks, probably on Friday. It's been too damn cold to work on the bike lately. Probably do the oil change on Thursday as well. I'd love to put the new lights on Friday, but doubt they'll be here in time. I'll do the lunchbox/rejet whenever I can find a can.. don't wanna drop $100 on a wileyco.

w00t.. Soon I will have not only a functional bike.. but a pretty one too!

UPS sucks.....if I had known it was gonna take em a week to deliver a packege 250 miles I would of just thrown em in the car and gone roadtripping.  I need to get my bike fixed up cosmetically but she rides friggin awesome and I'm thinking it'll be even better when I get an exhaust and put on the lunchbox sitting on my dresser   I should probably buy a new rear tire first, it's looking pretty bad   after all that I gotta start painting Let me know how those Hella lights work, I'm pretty sick of the stock light.......

No worries dude, not your fault UPS is retarded (The actual message posted on the tracking website: "THE PACKAGE WAS LEFT IN A UPS FACILITY CAUSING THIS DELAY;FORWARDED TO THE FACILITY IN THE DESTINATION CITY"... how was it just LEFT in a facility?).

I just want a slipon exhaust.. you lookin to go full exhaust? And yes, get the tire first. You only have a tiny contact patch with the road (until you do something wrong.. then you have a LARGE contact patch with the road.. )

I'm just looking for a slip-on.  Thought I had my hands on a SV can that I could make work but I guess the guy backed out   The only problem I'm having is nobody makes a 140 radial

w00t! Just ordered sonic springs .8 rate springs for up front, my forks from SPCTerry got here today. I expect my dual headlights in a few days, as well as my new rear sprocket and battery.
