first thing i really did was get a new front tire since it was in stock and i had the day off. figured i would tear down the front end a little to get used to the bike. i replaced the 110/70/17 with a 120/60/17 michelin pilot power. my boss has em on his gsxr and likes em so i figured id try em out

Nice clean GS mate. Did the previous owner not like the stickers?

Ya he didn't like them and I don't care for them either. So I've got some ideas I'm gonna ask my buddy at maaco about or see what the local body shop would charge since they've done work on my truck before
