adding turn signals which sit in the handlebars

also adding LCD rear turn signals as i didn't have any at all before now

also swapping out main front fairing for one thats not smashed up

also putting in new front brakes

also putting in new front tire as old one leaking and worn out

also having electrical system fixed as running lights/turn signals weren't turning on

Re: bike in shop for 90 things

i didnt want to mess with the electrical system and since it was going on for that anyway the tire and brakes are quick anyway so didnt add much to labour cost.

as for the pics.....i'll do you one better.....turn signal video those handlebar-end turn signals look snazzy in the box hope they look even better on the bike itself

they were cheap too. the fairing wasnt tho

i ran out of money

couldnt even give her any gas for a few dark days in the middle there.

dark days indeed....

but things have sorted out for the end of the summer here and the bike is my top priority to get her in decent shape before I put her in the stable for the winter. Anything less would be an injustice for all the joys she brought me this summer... and I'll manage to just scrape by before classes start on Sept. 2

I'd fire the chimpanzee that is my financial coordinator but then I'd be out of a job....
