Now the Gear:

Had some left over vinyl (Thanks again White Orb!) so I decided to use a spare helmet I had laying around and match it up with the stripe for a second rider if needed. Should look cool netted down too..lol

Thanks man.. I love it. Stands out from the cookie cutter GSX'r, and Harleys. I get so many people asking "What is that!?"..
 
It first started with necessity..Road bikes come with these standard now. My GPS battery is toast, has to be plugged in to work, so it started with a hardline for that.. My OCD took over. I'm 30 years old, married with two kids... I try to find stuff to work on sometimes to keep my sanity, and this is the result. I can charge my iphone on the go if needed.. It was pretty neat hanging at a bike event a couple weeks ago, we had a ac/dc power converter plugged in to the 12volt, ran a radio and little tv while we were hanging out.. Yes, it's overkill, That's just how I roll. lol.
