haha its pretty safe where it is. altho with anything motorcycle, if someone wants it bad enough they could get it. altho it'd be a huge pain!
 
Finally getting around to painting my bike thanks to another forum member that brought me a sportster tank to be painted so I am doing my max at the same time. Just spraying primer today maybe tomorrow I will get some color on it.
 
Went got new rear tyre , and warrant of fitness and rego . And rode back 30 kms in thunder , lightning and torrentual rain . Atleast my new boots are waterproof like they said , then once in shed dried it off cleaned and polished Max .
 
Finished install of clear case covers, painted the last two parts needing repainted, and am installing screens in scoops etc. Should be totally reassembled tomorrow night, I hope.

After a final 9hr straight push, TOXIC is reassembled and ready for the bike show. Still have a couple of tiny little details to finish once we get there, but otherwise she is done. Even lit the LED's in the clear covers just to test them. They look GREAT! Very cool looking. Will post pics soon.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product Jim! Try to find a nice redhead for this years model, or maybe a brunette, or another blonde would be good too. Ah, hell it really doesn't matter I'm sure you won't disappoint!:punk:
 
I got a great deal on a set of black Progressive 440HD rear shocks in 12.5" length new in the box so the 412 11.5's will be coming off. I LOVE it lowered but it just doesn't work well with the wife and I on it.

Sorry Sean but the price was STUPID good!

No problem at all Chris. You should all hopefully know by now I am not out to make my sole living off you guys. When there are better deals out there you need to grab them up. I grab up a bunch of them myself when I can afford it.

The 412's should be an easy sell for you since that is the favorite length and yours i'm sure look new as detailed (anal) as you are lol!

Well I put it back togeter with the new blue paint. I am gonna go back when I get time & do some graphics on it but right now I have a mild case of Pnemonia & not to much energy so its gonna have to wait.

Looks great! Two things I think you should do to make it really pop...

#1 clean and wax the engine to make it shine

#2 use a little tire treatment applied to a rag and wipe down the sides of the tires to make them sparkle. Use as little as possible and DO NOT get it on the tread and it'll look beautiful!

Good job!

Ordered the gauge bulbs 74x and 74xhp3 removed the nology wires and sent them back to Nology to replace the boots on 2 of the wires,and installed a new set of Ngk resistor plugs to see if that cures the disco lights on my Sasy. JIM
