I'm Done.....
For now anyway. Wallet's a little lighter that's for sure. That's ok. I got the bike I've always wanted. I really liked it a lot bone stock but after three months of owning it I thought I could make it mine with a few changes. I started with a dual usb adapter for my GPS and for phone charging. Thought there was just too much black so the dark brown seat cover from Luimoto took care of that. Changed the mirrors to the CB500 style mirrors. Although not exactly but close. I like them better for more then just looks. I can see much better with these. They're lower and a lot smaller than the stock mirrors. The OEM rear rack not only looks good it's very functional as well. That'll come in handy later this month on my Outer Banks trip. Hopefully I'll get a good dry weekend for that. The Road Comet 1 fairing is absolutely awesome. It just looks great. Better then I thought it would. The service from that company is flat out amazing. It shipped from Japan on the second and I got it today. How that's possible I don't know. It'd just be wrong if I didn't say thanks to all the people here that shared there stories, pictures and all the how-to posts. All of my ideas came directly from this forum minus the seat. Saw that on a YouTube video. Anyway thanks everybody!!! I'm very happy with it now that I've made it mine and have the bike I've always wanted.

Good job. Making a bike "your own" is one of the true joys of ownership.

Thanks ferret. There isn't a thing about this bike I don't like. Three months and almost 2500 miles so far.

It's a beauty! But you will have to do something about those naked lever ends if you want to go prime time!
