I should probably clear that up... thr front fender has a big dent in it, so while the dealership is tuning and cleaning it up I will pound that out and hit it with some new paint.

just went to sign one final thing and took a look at the cleaned up tuned up bike. What a difference! when I bought it it was dingy and dirty and really not impressive at all, I didnt think a lot of the dirt on the pipes would come off and it'd just be a dirty little starter bike. Holy chrome and polished metal batman! the thing was absoltely GLEAMING. I guess once you get rid of a 1/4" of dust off a bike you see what it really looks like, just wow, very glad about my purchase now.

Congratulations! Hope you have a great time on it. Cool to hear that it's cleaning up nicely as well.
Stay Safe!

One thing i have noticed that will really make the bike look a lot nicer is.....
when the title has your name in it. my first bike(current bike) did that. it looked kinda crappy, but then all of a sudden when the title changed hands it was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen!!!

well my bank has the title, I'll never see it.
on a side note my friend fixed the dent in the fender this morning, cause he was bored I guess. actually he likes playing body parts, so do I, but he asked me yesterday when I was buying it if the guy would pull of the fender so he could play with it. I guess he popped it and bondod it and sanded it this morning. he says all it needs is primer and paint.

I'm sorry to here that. One day the title will be in your hand. Until then you have to see it in a different light.
