Took her out today on a  beautiful, 60 degree, sunny day and put on 150 miles.  Amazing how much better it handles with treads!   ;D
She ran like a top

I figured since I had the tires and fenders off, I might as well change the oil, put on new brakes pads and add Franks mudflaps and fender bib (inside the house where it was warm and where it could sit for 24hrs).  And before anyone asks, I used Buds idaho jack adapter to lift the bike...works like a charm!

It was if the good Lord realized I suffered enough and left me a single, dry path from the storage barn to the road so I drove her home Friday in very windy, 35 degree day.   I took the opportunity to put on the new wheels.
This is what a set of Bridgestone tires look like after 9400 miles.  The rear tire was completely bald.

Bam the upgrades sure are looking nice  ;)  I certainly have to agree with you Frank is a pleasure to deal with .

Looking very smart!  You'll probably notice a huge difference in your riding experience.

Still not able to get the bike out of storage because of the snow but it's getting close now.   I went down and installed the lightbar, headlight (with blinking modulator), chrome lowers and windshield.  Looks great!

Just got this in from Franks Leathers (front/rear mud guards and rear fender bib).   The quality of his workmanship is outstanding and the leather, thick ... very, very satisfied.   Can't wait to see these on the bike!
And on a side note, I corresponded with Frank off and on which was a very pleasurable experience.  The guy really goes out of his way for you.

  Ok we are not on the same page, I have the visor and the metal snap ring and it was and is a pain to put in, perhaps you are calling it an insert, on the light lens.

I can wait to see how it looks once everything is mounted on your bike!!

Do you mind teling more about the fringe and velcro on your seat.....where did you bought the fringe and velcro?? can you post more pictures or a video on how to attach it to the seat, thank you!

I bought the velcro and fringe here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-Seat-Saddlebag-Floorboard-Craft-Handbag-Black-Leather-Fringe-/221714257717?

and, giving credit where credit is due, I got the idea from a thread by DrifterWood here:

Hope this helps!
