well.. im not sure what happened to my camera, but it flashes very very fast and all the picures come out dark. i reset settings to factory.. i dont know if someone dropped it or what.. but anyways
not sure how you guys do it... but to remove the forks to get off the headlight ears.. I have a sloped garage with a drain in the middle.. put the front tire at the lowest part.. center standed the bike then loaded 200lbs of sand on the rear lol... front tire was high in the air.. used a thin jack... lowered front end.. jacked it back up... tighted bolts.. remove sand.

got the wheels cleaned up (not spokes yet)
started polishing the left front lower fork.
started polishing the points cover
headlight and gauges, turns mirrors removed
just general time consuming cleaning of things.
have bars,grips,mirrors,headlight bracket coming today.

i actually have put alot of time into it.. though you cant really tell yet.
anyone have any suggestions for a digital tach.. i was looking at those acewell 2802's.. anyone have any expeience with them?
any suggestions on tires? i guess a 100/90/19 front and 120/90/18 rear. i was looking at bridgestone bt45's
