I knew someone would bring up the doughnuts, and the printer. The doughnuts were my breakfast, and the printer is at my work. I don't think it actually works.

So I got a couple of packages yesterday.

Hids and mounting brackets. I got the hids in my projectors, but I haven't had a chance to get them on the bike yet.

Well I got my flashing led in the headlight and also mounted the projectors with the hids and wired them up. Good thing too, because as it turns out, the new headlight bulb runs hot and melted my housing. So I will be getting a replacement soon. I'll also get some pics and vids tomorrow.

Nice man I really like that , I hope your weather is as nice there as it is here . I took my wifes friend for a ride today , it felt great to be back on the bike . We went to the store to fill up with super and it only cost 12 dollars to fill her up , I really like that to . I'm trying to talk my wife into going for a ride with me now , she don't seem like she's to interested though . Also I wanted to tell you I bought the hid lights for my bike and it keeps melting them , it makes a big bubble in the bulb and high beam will blow , but low beam still works . I called the company that made the kit and they said it must have been a faulty bulb so they sent me two replacement bulbs , but the same thing happened to them , now I have the stock bulb in the bike and everything is good .

Dang that sucks. I wasn't too pleased when I found out that my new headlight bulb was melting the housing. For now I just taped an extra H4 bulb I had laying around to the back of the housing. It will work until I get a new headlight housing.

So today I got some replacement mirrors. (I let my friend ride it, 2mins in he drove it over a curb and broke the old ones. )

They have leds for turn signals in them too. They aren't wired yet, but I'll get to it soon.


I also found out today that my reserve tank doesn't work. So I had to get gas from my gas can.

This thing is turning into a mini blazer, a new problem everyday.

Ok so I saw something I wanted on sale on ebay so I bought it.

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

I also got a pair of 6" red led strips and will put them on the under tail for running lights.
