well my over zealousness has paid off twice now... I put the wrong billing address on my order for the luggage, delaying it a week... and now just found that because I paid with a credit card through Paypal... they used my default address... in California... the one I used to set up the account... the one I haven't lived at for almost 5 years so I contacted Fed Ex and sent the package back... contacted Xenonexpert.com and gave them my new address... probably delaying a week also

I'd have been pissed if I'd waited till the last minute to order these then had the same issue.


Oh... I've also ordered new maps for my GPS... as soon as I get it I'll be drawing up some tentative trip routes.


I've been doing a lot of research into helmet cams... think I've found what I want... just gonna hold off a little longer.

So got conformation that my luggage, minus the tank bag which is on order, shipped... along with my HID conversion.

I got my frame sliders last night... they require me to cut but I'm fine with it... they look solid as hell in person... so I'm pleased...

yeah the clutch side requires a new overflow bottle which came with the kit...


I also ordered a Air Hawk seat... I've heard great things bout these... and figure since I can't build up my stamina the proper way by riding... I can invest in this and it'll help my trip go more smooth. I'm actually sending it to drewpy for him to try out on the trip to Cali...





I went with the small as it's 9"x11"... though they didn't list MY bike they did list the ZX9r and said it needed the medium... which is 18"x18"!!! that's fucking HUGE!

I think the 9''x11'' will be fine... after all it's almost exactly the size of a sheet of paper (8.5''x11'') and I what ever little bladders your not sitting on... is where the air rushes too when you sit... so it'd be useless that large

My stuff should start rolling in here this week... I got my sliders and my Delay for the HID lights... expecting my luggage and shit to get here this week as well... HID kit probably not for another week or so as I still haven't gotten an e-mail from the guy (he said he'd e-mail me when the package was returned and it was on it's way back out)
