Here's what I've been doing most of the morning. A good bit of prep work and $6 worth of krylon. I figure if I scratch them up too much I won't be losing anything to get them powdercoated. The final coat was just finished and they're drying in the sun now. Thanks again Lonehorn. Pictures with them on the GS will be put up soon!

I had the seat off and the bike plugged into the battery tender after leaving the key on for an hour or so.....DOHHH!!Head Bang Head Bang Anyway, as you can tell she's in much need of a washing and I'll probably do that tomorrow after the wheels have had a full 18 hours to dry.

The WarmNSafe heated jacket liner that I got in came with a heat troller that I also tied into the fuse box and mounted to the dash. I'm all set for freezing temps now!

Rimstripes?? If I had wanted bling then I wouldn't have used a 22 ammo box divider for my heat-troller mounting plate. I'd rather spend that extra day of work it would take pin striping the wheels, out riding.

Also notice anything else missing there Greg? No Armor-all and no chickenstrips! JFWY....:D

Dude, either she is wasted or she is making one hell of a F-me face! Those are some Tig-O-Bitties!!!!! Eekster Hit It

These will be my street rims.....no mud. I'll keep either Karoos or TKC's on the spoked wheels and use them for when I am planning to do any offroading. I just got back from a GREAT ride up to Juice's house and back with a clean bike....pics up shortly.
