Here we go.... I got Butch's hugger on and added a license tag frame... I just though it cleaned up the back end a bit. Man does that Rivcyko brand hugger look sweet! Don't you all wish you had one? You can, just PM Rivcyko! More on the way, Butch

That hugger looks suwheeeeet!

btw, the VFRness shipped today for him.

Sweet... thanks! He wants to get the warranty stuff done before I add the VFRNess... but I will post pics when we get to that point. Thanks for taking such good care of me/him!

I'm about ready... I have two sets personally to do... Butch has one. I think he wants gold... but we should confirm with him. I'll PM you shortly with my cell

I also have a swingarm and mount... can they do those too?

I would go ahead and install, since it is plug and play with factory connectors it shouldn't be any issue.

There is one point on the harness that taps into the ignition switch(change you didn't need, but the rest do)...but there should be no issue installing it of course.

Should not be a problem. I just need to verify with the guy that he has the colors in stock when we want to do them. If not, I can get him to order the colors.

Great work, Will! Thank you.

Travis, that hugger is outstanding -- color match is wonderful! It has been a struggle deciding between white or gold wheels, but I decided to go with white. Received my wiring recall notice today.

:thumbsup: Thanks, you guys! Glad you like them.

I would stick with the silver rims, myself. Breaks-up the frame, and they don't stand alone.

Will. ??????? :warranty:

I like the really dark gray on the RWB 07 rims... so I think I'm headed down that path. A candy apple red pinstripe on that color would be sweet!

really torn between gold and white; just like ordering at the Outback, will probably make my mind up at the last possible second.

I wonder if one of our photoshop experts here on VFRD can work up the 2 options for you to help you decide. I would but I don't have the skills or software.

I think either way you'd be happy.

OK, powder coating is pushed back a week as the factory recall needs to be done... dropping the bike off on Tuesday (I think) to get it done. In the meantime, the gauges showed up yesterday and I got the bike back together (just in time to go to the shop) this afternoon. Butch, what do you thing about the gauges?

Well, the bike has looked better, but I think we are on the home stretch!

>Electrical gremlins are now gone

>Gotta re-do the power for the grips

>Waiting on the bulbs for the turn signals (I got silver bulbs that shine amber)

>Trying to find a nut for the indicator light for the headlight modulators (planning to ditch the electrical tape and perma-mount in the fairing below the voltmeter)

>Waiting on the mount bracket for the Garmin (on the tank bolts... bought the bolts yesterday.)

Wheels and Pazzos are ready to run to the powdercoater. I can have the bike back together in a few hours (once I get all the parts.)

In the meantime... I am putting a serious cleaning on this bike.... Until all the junk I ordered for my new CBR shows up wink.gif

Here we go...

Bike does not handle well for some reason... could be the really small tires

Stuff for sale!! (Just kidding, Butch smile.gif )

Front end all done!

Two words Butch-Life Insurance!

Hey... what up with that smile.gif The electrical gremlins were there BEFORE I worked on the bike... I just chased them down and killed them :thumbsup:

It has nothing to do with your mechanical abilities(or lack thereof). Most people don't carry enough life insurance and I was reminding Butch. (right after I saw the photos) :D

Cool. Got some serious hrs in that puppy. Thanx, for the pics, I've been wondering.
