BEHOLD! Another V-Twin Major Rebuild... I give you... Project Pegasus...

was a part of that 1k you spent on parts including some new mirrors, because you need to get rid of those stock lollipops...

and now, wtf you gonna ride when i'm up there this weekend? (march 21-23)

oh yeah, next time don't wrestle so much with the grips, just take a utility knife and cut em off, then use "Goo-B-Gone" to remove the excess glue....

and of course, order yourself some Traction grips, the ergonomic design provides less stress on your hands and wrists

oh and for the grips and those frame pucks... you might try using a heat gun... or in a pinch a hair dryer...

Yeah, I was thinking about picking up a heat gun... It's one of those things that I wish I had too many times not to just fucking get one...

I am planning on painting the subframe as well... It's rashed up from my crash, so it'll be the color of the frame too. Sometime this week I'll be removing the levers and foot controls, then the subframe is gonna go... I'm really not looking forward to it though...

Well, I only have one mirror right now... the other one is somewhere in the woods in Hocking Hills... I have no plans yet for replacements, but it's going to be done... I'll figure something out when I get my handguards on...

The last time I used a utility knife to cut off some grips I damn near cut my hand off... I'm too retarded to be trusted with sharp objects...

I ordered some ProGrips... we'll see how those do, but since they're only like $10 I won't be heartbroken if I don't like 'em...

I've seen them on various bikes and liked 'em... We'll see what happens when they come...

It's not silver, it's that same strange goldish color... The side of the chin faring is all rashed up so I was thinking about getting the whole damn thing Line-X'ed... I might be able to sand out the scratches though, so I'm going to try that first... If I can, then I'm going to paint that goldish thing the same color as the frame...

ahh ok... yeah I know what you mean about that goldish color... when we go to Indy... I'll show you my frame... it's fucking gold... and my wheels are silver! at least they could have been consistent! 06 they went back to silver frames

I may be doing this same thing in a year or so...
