I use turtle wax bug and tar remover. Spray it on, let it sit for a while (15 min or so) then wipe it off. Has worked fine for me every time so far.

Today I took off the stupid "You must be an idiot to ride this thing. You are gonna die here" warning sticker from the top of the tank. After fighting for three days getting the same sticker off my old S40, I was not looking forward to it. But I was able to just lift a corner of the thing with a plastic knife, and it pulled off completely in one piece. Now the top of my Bee is... naked as bee's butt!

A cable-tie around the frame & bottom of the neck covers will stop them flapping in the breeze.

Installed Yamaha Double-T Fat bars ('99 Marauder... and actually this was a few months ago). Also, last week I installed a 17 tooth front sprocket (up from stock 15).

Just rotated my handlebars back last night after having swapped in a Corbin Dual Tour. My seating position was a couple inches further back compared to stock, which then resulted in me having to ride with virtually locked out arms and a tense back.

Now I have a pretty bend at the elbows, but the bars may be a bit too low. Hopefully, the weather will be kind so I can do test ride.

I followed this very helpful link:

Next up: Installing my new Kury Flamin' Switchblade Pegs!

Nice looking "classic bike" now! Like the bars as well.

I debadged the bike last night. It was pretty easy and took about an hour to do all 4 sticker decals or whatever. I know I am going to get the emoticon "this is junk without pics," but I finished and it was took dark to get the attractive ladies together for the photo shoot so I booked them for this afternoon!!! Will get pics tonight.
