whatcha doing to it?

 

[Boss man]

Went down this summer to avoid car that pulled out in front of me. Tore upper and lower controls off, bent bars, rad fenders signals headlight and all the other goodies are junk. The Corbin bags saved the pipes kind of.. bought it back and gonna replace or eliminate all the junk. Custom paint, have the wheels polished or coated not sure yet. Installing ramair and cutting bearclaw.
Mostly sit and stare at it until my parts get here

@Paul Bryant , My wheels had been polished just before I purchased in July but have to admit to only cleaning in depth once since. Will try and take photos once cleaned properly. As far as aluminium goes, they looked really nice and shiny but are a bugger to keep clean. I live by the coast here and the salt content in the air tarnishes and dulls them within a couple of weeks. I think I'm going to go the route of having them powder coated too, just to match the special, classy, super cool Blue of the rest of the bike. Best photo I've got from day she was delivered just prior to adopting the 'grin'..
