I haven't taken any recent pics with the work, but I'll post them up here in a day or two. It would be cool to see your ride, too. Are you on the Katrider.com forums?

cool man. I am not on katriders, never even heard about it. I have been doing matenience things. got new tires, ordered some new seals. I call my kat my ugly ducking. It had a pristene full yellow paint job, and I was getting tired of it. I ordered these graphics to cut up the monotny of the yellow, then the bike fell in my drive way. I then painted most of the bike matte black. I like it, but am planning on getting new plastics and do something custom. look forward to seeing your bike. I got the kat, because I prefer to just ride, not cut gaps and stuff. I think you and I are on the same page.

I'm out in the west burbs if anyone wants to get together for a ride. Currently I ride an '04 gsxr 600 and I'm always looking for new twisty roads.

Still no pics...it's been crazy for me. That yellow is a little much, so the black probably looks sweet. That's the nice thing about this bike. You can still cut gaps if you want to, but your ***** get a break on the long rides. I like my *****, so this was a good choice for me. I'll post up pics soon. A ride would be awesome with the Evo crew.

I'm not sure how many of you like fall riding, but the cold doesn't bother me too much. I made my way down the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive last weekend in Wisconsin and it was amazing. There were a ton of bikes, and for good reason. The roads are extremely tight and twisty with great scenary. Even the Harley guys waive out there. We should arrange a ride before the weather turns too much! Here's some pics of my bike when I first bought it and what she looks like today. She's come a far way in just a few months! She's actually quite ugly in her original form, but I like to think it's much better now.

BEFORE...








AFTER...
