I'm not going to go too crazy with this bike and will keep the seat as my girlfriend still likes to ride. Looking for a smaller tail light and then going to replace the turn signals, headlight brackets and use bar end mirrors. Any suggestions welcome for where to find those parts.

stripping and repainting the tank. Used engine paint which claimed to be fuel resistant but clearly is not. Will do a proper paint job when time allows but I simply had to get rid of the horrid stuff which the bike came with.

Riding the bike into my house for repairs. Poor landlord.
