FOXY 2.2 DIAL UP WARNING

FIRST:
I had the side fairings painted gloss black. I initially had one done in vinyl and liked it so much that I took the panels down to have painted. I dropped them off at a local shop at about 8:30 am and they were done by 11:30 the SAME morning...........all for $100 bucks. CAN'T beat that kind of service.

SECOND:
I removed the red vinyls from under the headlamps. I really never liked them 100%, and think the bike looks cleaner without them (especially now with the gloss black sides)

THIRD:
The black Rizoma grips are now installed. They are much more comfortable (in my opinion) than the stock grips, and look better too.

FOURTH:
I took apart the gas cap (BIG pain the ass to put back together) to powdercoat it black.......and think that looks WAY better with the scheme of my bike.

FIFTH:
I recently ordered a pair of used, 2004 R6 headlamps for a modification I'm going to do in the near future. Always wanted projector headlamps, now I'll have them.

SIXTH:
I went picture crazy today and snapped over 1500 pictures (most of them of the same angle). Below is what made it to the final cut.........

You're a really good photographer. Is the right side, her good side?

^^SURE. Why not?

And yes, the right side is the best side (for the type of lighting I was using anyway.) I'm a "natural light" photographer. I rarely use lights, but rather the natural lighting and move the objects around and "wait" for the right time to snap the picture. (or just keep snapping until the card is full

)

Best motorcycle pics ever.

get rid of the other keys on you keychain, they will mess up your triple clamp.

Yep. I had some fun today. We have miles new roads in the neighborhood that are undeveloped. I like to slalom between the dashed-stripes in the road, do really tight u-turns, and practice my cornering drills I learned from Laguna Seca. Hopefully (if I get a spot......on the waiting list) I'll be headed back to Laguna Seca for a level II class at the end of April.

LOL. I do have a lot of keys, I usually detach them from my ignition key when I'm riding.

beautiful - the ONLY suggestion I can think of, if even possible, is to wet your tires down (with water obviously) to make the tires as clean as the rest of the bike.

real sweet looking bike, many of us aspire to have such a clean looking ride
