OK OK ...fine we get it. You're fucking cool with you're new bike

Seriously though, it is kind of growing on me. What kind of aftermarket modifications are you planning, if any?

*edit, I'm a 'tard.

Screw you buddy!

I want a smoked doublebubble screen for sure.

I kinda like the stock exhaust... not sure if I'll change it or not.

Tail bag ftw, from your pics that tank looks tall as it is. If leo vince ends up making one for your bike - you can't go wrong. Quiet but deep idle. And even when you really get on it, its not over bearing.

I've always liked the Leo Vince pipes. Never heard one that sounded bad, that's for sure.

I found this at Home Depot for a little over $4...

PTFE is Teflon. I tested it on a couple things around the house with great results, so I Simple Green'd my chain and put this stuff on it. So far so good.

It dries white so it looked a little odd for a while, lol.

I love many things about that bike.

Also, kudos for finding a cheaper version of motorcycle lube. Mine dries a chalky white as well. Curious as to how it compares.
