    I suspect SOW has had a car battery hooked up to his ears one too many times ...

    I just don't see how in hell you can equate the powdercoating of framework for quality luggage to bling. He is responsible by purchasing good used
    products and taking steps to insure they last as long as possible by properly coating the metal parts with powdercoat. The environment he lives in is quite harsh.

    Glad you are mending and have replaced your VFR.

    I actually do like powered coating, he is doing a good job fixing up that 02 abs- there must not be too many around like that.:lever:

    Installed my Oxford Heaterz on my bike this morning before taking it for a ride. My fuse block hasn't arrived yet so I wired them direct to the battery for now.

    I had a set of these on the VFR I wrecked, and I highly recommend them for anyone that lives and rides in the early / late seasons of colder climates.

    The looks I got from folks as I passed them on my VFR with snow in the ditches was priceless!

    Ya may have snow in the ditches but you also have sun in the sky. Not like our dreary, dark, cloudy, raining, foggy, cold, damp, windy,...well you get the idea.
    This is the time of year I usually loose the training wheels and mount the outriggers.

    That it is. Fall, winter, spring monsoons. Then desert dry sun in the summer.

    Thinking of doing my rims in this color (copper metal flake - the photo is of my buddies RD350 frame).

    What do you think?

    I'm not seeing it with a silver bike. Maybe it is just me. Anodized blue or red would be so fuckinv hot though. MOFWIW.

    An Electric Blue would look sick ... I'll investigate that as well.

    I wanted to see it myself, so I created this. That is an actual sample of Jeff's copper hardware picture. It is striped as I selected a large area, which has a wide variance in it due to the lighting:

    @Alaskan - I love the blue.

    @Knight - Thanks. I was going to get one of my guys at work to do it up nicely in photoshop so I could get an idea. I think the copper sounds odd and is hard to visualize but would look really good

    I actually have one of our designers at the office photoshopping the blue and the copper on to the bike.

    I'll post them here when he's done ... he's working on them right now. :)
