Looking better every day!

How is the weather down there, have you been able to go on a decent ride yet? The weather here has been barely permiting. I got out one day, but can't go up the canyons yet. It immediately drops at least ten degrees in the canyons and still snow once you get up there a ways.

Thanks man.

The weather has been great here. I went on a ride two sundays ago up the provo canyon and it was fantastic. I do really need some kind of wind shield though. I think I would have a hard time at 80 mph for more than 2hrs.

I got two pairs of leds in today and installed them in the gauges.

I think they look great. Much better than the yellowish glow of the stock bulbs.

The thing I don't really like is that my tank only holds enough gas for about 150 miles, and that is including the reserve. But at 40 mpg I think I can live with it.

Same here, but I don't think it will snow though. Probably just rain.

Very nice, now they match the bike.

That fuel range is common. Most bikes cruisers, sport bikes,sport touring bikes, average about 120 then have to switch to reserve or the light comes on. It used to bother me but now that I am a bit older it is a good excuse to stop and walk around a bit.

Provo sounds like a great ride, I am jealous. When I lived down there I didn't have a bike but thought about it everytime I went up one of the canyons.

I broke mine out Sunday and went to the top of one of the local canyons. It was fun but a bit chilly up there.

Wow! I think I'd crap my pants going around corners with snow like that. Your bike looks soooo nice. I want one that looks that good someday.
