Looks just like the last time I saw her ;)

Suggestion, get the stock shield (and the two retainer plates) painted green on the inside to match the rest of the bike.  That barn door is gonna look out of balance otherwise.

That's my PNW "winter" shield Chet, coming soon hopefully I'll be able to put my shorter "summer" shield back on...  ;D 8)

Not at all bro, did over 100 miles today myself trying to get the gas out of the tank for the swap.  :chugbeer:
 
Why didn't you call me bro?  :(  The old man flew out at like 4, so I was free from 1 on...

It's supposed to rain all next week, and then the following week she goes in for the Green plastic surgery, so I thought it fitting to give her one last wash and take some photo's, these will most likely be the last photo's you ever see of her with the oem painted bodywork on... :chugbeer:

Nope, I'm not tired of black at all Chet, I just most likely won't go back to the oem painted black, but I could see me having a custom black of some sort set of bodywork...  8)

You know, You are going to need a matching helmet. Did You give one to the paint shop, to match to the other parts?

That might be cool JM.  8)

Nope, sorry bro, after I pick up the bodywork it needs to sit for about a week to harden up a bit more before being handled for the install...  :(
 
I do have the install appt all set up for next week though!  :)   :chugbeer:

I think you need this for your shock:

Not sure how it would fit though.  What color hardware are you using?  Gold?
