...should have taken, dear... now, you must forgive me....I'm simply a doddering granny with a son and a gaggly of grandbabies, so it's simply instinct to assist with grammar.... :kiss3:

Congrats on starting your winters projects!!! Hope you'll post pics as you make progress!! :cheers: :thumb:
haha thanks nana. :laugh:
Doesn't it look so much more natural?? Gah, love it!
What headlight setup are you going with?
Wait until you ride it, it feels like a totally different bike. Partly because you're looking straight over the gauge cluster into the ground, and because you're dropping about 25lbs of plastic and other junk from the front end of the bike.
Thats why i could never understand why they kept the "F" in production in the U.S and stopped the naked. Over here in Canada we still had both. Like my 03' Naked.
put some clothes on mate, your scaring the children! :o
It is so much better, and it is like a riding a completely different bike, and im going with the dual buell headlight setup.

I think you need to paint the front fender yellow to match the rest... maybe some yellow rimtape too
rim tape is a must.
Maybe i should take those F stickers off too. :laugh: :thumb:
