Interesting... I was thinking black frame with the green fenders.
I guess part of the issue is if I pull it down I will leak test it and it will probably leak. Which means I should check it anyway. BUT, I do not want to. :-P It might create more work. :lol:
Once all the wires and 'stuff' is where I want it pulling it down to paint is not a huge issue for me. Except I am getting more of an aversion to work these days. Or at least creating more work for myself. Then again, I dusted off some of the vacuum forming stuff yesterday and made a plug for an angled drop in battery box insert to go inside of the air box. :-D Got to get some 2mm HIP plastic to see if it will form ok.

Got a text from my buddy with his 09 Aprilia rxv 550... He wanted a show down...
Ok, I'm up for that :D
He showed up a few minutes later.
So I go out to the garage and put on my right boot so I can start my bike.
It's been a few weeks so of course it took a few kicks to fire it up.
My buddy had the nerve to laugh at me while touching his e-start button :shock:
We took a nice warm up ride down to the river.
Spun around at the boat launch, cleared the corner, then cracked through the gears... Except 5th as there wasn't enough room...
Looked back as I was braking hard for the corner and I saw a faded little light way back there :D
Man I love my bike...
After swinging by another buddy's house we traded bikes.
The RXV is a good bike with all the niceties.
Smooth power delivery and decent handling considering it has the stock nobbies on it.
It's everything I would expect from such a bike.
Which is why I ride something a little more unconventional 8-)
Motorrad:
I'll race you both for pinks

My title isn't pink.... :-P
