  | thanks guys, i just got that paint on there, it hasnt even been wet sanded or buffed yet (that should change as of this weekend) then next week I am getting the frame and swingarm polished, so I will make sure to have some new pics up then. I just put on chrome levers and chrome skull grips 2 days ago, but right now i'm kinda pissed because i was going down the highway, coming up to a light, i go to stop, and lo and behold, i DO NOT HAVE A BRAKE LEVER!!! i almost creamed the rear end of a truck in front of me, i had to lay into my rear brake, causing me to start sliding, i slid right in between the 2 vehicles in front of me and finally got the bike still... so right now i have a chrome clutch lever, and a stock brake lever held on by a damn nut and bolt that hardly fits...  |

| Very sweet, I must say. I really REALLY prefer the headlight style on the 2000-2003 model gixxers to the new design introduced in '04.

| You might want to hire a security guard to watch over that thing once you add those mods.
