Bear,

Funny you should post that since I was goofing off this afternoon with the bike and decided to take that strap off. So far that is the only "mod" I have done to the bike. Can we say "baby steps".

Actually, if you have seen any of my other posts you will know that I have all of the parts on order for the full suite of mods. I don't have immediate plans to do marty's PerCiVal mod yet, but other than that, I will be doing pretty much all of the things that everyone has discussed here of the past several months. Oh, except the 300cc upgrade. No $ for that now, or probably ever.

I can wait to get this bad boy dirty again. It is supposed to rain here a little on Wednesday and Thursday and I have plans already with a guy to go out Thursday evening. Wish me luck.
