    Bit of smoke is from the Seafoam I put in the gas tank. Wanted to clean the tank a little after sitting so long. Refueled after 15 miles or so and now nothing.

    Sounds really good. Looks good too, but something about the wheels. A glossy black or white or gold perhaps? Those look very drab IMO.

    Was shooting for gun metal but the powdercoater didn't really get it. Looks much better in person though especially when clean. Gonna change to something else but won't be black (done), white (done), or gold(too 80's). Gonna do a whole paint job on my second set of fairings and then prolly go a deep red. Whole Supertex theme.

    That would be a big 10-4. Rode it to work yesterday with no issues. Carbs might be a bit out of sync but he pulled hard through all gears. I took 7th and 8th off of work so I'm down for some shannanigans. I hope you calendered up.

    Won't be on this set of fairings. I want to keep one set of complete originals. But my second set definitely, and I'm probably gonna add some blue to the tank and front cowl above the Supe symbol. Also will be altering the side vents like this...... It's a very clean look and it gives me more surface area for the symbol.

    Well gonna give it a ride to TC's this weekend. I rode it to work 3 times (45 miles 1 way) this last week. Haven't had a day off like this in some time. Looking forward to it.

    FYI I got my issue with the speedo resolved as best I could. Cool too. I installed velco to the face of the speedo side and attach my phone there. My phone has a GPS speedometer that is wickedly accurate with trip meters and everything. Serves my purpose at least for now.

    I'm gonna put an attachment on top of the dash, but waiting till I find the right one. Also thought of something around the neck area. We'll see, but this works and very well I might add.

    And yes I AM a high tech redneck.
