    Well after having her in pieces the garage for serveral months my 2004 VFR800A is back together, better than ever and so ready for me to ride!
    Yahoo for my girl Charlotte!

    So my mod and repair list goes something like this:

    -Custom paint job-2008 Honda Accord Coupe Balize Blue
    -Kawasaki ZX14 mirrors
    -Lower link
    -Bar raisers
    -Shortened side stand
    -Shaved seat
    -"New" stock exhaust
    -"New" grab handles
    -Lots of new fairing pieces
    -Lots of replacement fastners
    -Repairs to wiring
    -New fork seals and dust covers
    -Painted headers and exhaust pipes
    -Many many hours of cleaning (THANKS TIMMY!)
    -Super cute spider key chain "Charlotte"

    All that is left is some passenger hangers/pegs and my super sleuthed CBR1000 Honda badge! Whooohooo!

    Looks GREAT. I especially like the polished heat shields over the cans and by the right side footpeg. I think they look much better than the brushed shields on mine.

    Um, I do not know what you were thinking I was thinking.
    I was intending for you to have a spirited ride with aggressive and technical aspects requiring much physical interaction between you and your machine.

    In other words...Flog her like the dirty girl she is.

    Thanks everyone for the nice words, but the compliments have to be directed to my super awesome husband, Tim! He put in many hours into Charlotte making her the beauty that she is...Thanks Tim!
