If anybody could tell me how to post a series of pics, it would be great but for now I gotta go 1 pic per post :( It would also be nice to know how to get the image size down for posting without making them so small.

I took all the flames and stickers off. I hate vinyl-plastered bikes, but it took me a long time to decide to take all the stickers off nonetheless. I'm really happy with the way it came out.

Here's a before pic...

And the after. Only one sticker left - Quad Tech on the scoops. I think I will get a generic graphic sheet from Rocky Mountain and put a 1 foot black or white "Honda" with the wing down the side. What do you guys think about that?

The camera makes the plastics look older and orange for some reason...

I also cleaned up the bars by putting a bike kill switch and a generic light toggle. You can see the light switch under the plastics by the steering stem. I had one problem with the lights - I could only find a 2 way switch in the garage so all the lights (high and low) come on when the light switch is on. Will that present any problems?

Also, does anybody have a better idea as to where to locate that switch more firmly when I get the 3 way? That one is held on with zip ties and safety wire, which is way too ghetto for my bike :D

It looks good. I'd get an all black gripper seat cover as well. I think I saw in another thread you're getting shocks? The bike would look much better with some shocks.

I'm looking for the all black gripper right now. I can't seem to find any quality ones on eBay... Is there a company that sells them plain with no logos?

Oh yes... I ride it all the time.

The reason it looks so clean is because A. I got the engine bead blasted last year and B. After I ride it I take it apart and clean it. The plastic is also new, and the frame has been painted.

for posting a series of pics, go to www.imageshack.us and then find the pic u want and hit host. then scroll down a little or until you see ''hotlink for forums'', copy the first one and then paste it in a reply. you can post i think about 10 pics mabye more in one reply doing it that way. just make sure and hit enter inbetween the pics so it spaces them out.for making the pics smaller, same them as a jpg or jpeg, works the best.

good lookin bike:macho
