          Thanks T.C. honsestly I did not look at that lol. I was thinking on the lines of adding the badges on the side covers. Im looking at a local graphics shop to reproduce the badges on the side covers in blue. Possibly adding the Yamaha tunning forks to the tank, or maybe pinstriping on tank. I have not made that decision yet.

          Also on the list of stuff I would like to do in the future.

          LED Brake Light and Turn Signals
          New Fuse Block
          SS Brake Lines
          TKAT Fork Brace

          Removed Octy
          Added Fuel Filters
          Removed the rear shocks and added the MNS rear shocks.
          Removed Badging on Side Covers and Tank
          Repainted Side Covers.

                          Just Curious...............

                          how many more of these pictures of beautiful, immaculate, lovingly cleaned scooters I will have to look at. I see these, then I go out and climb on my dirt encrusted, dusty, and sometimes muddy old Thunderpig!

                          Does a dirty bike make me a bad person?
                          Does the beast need to be cleaned every time it comes home late at night with the chrome smokin', and the bugs dripping from the windshield?
                          If it ain't leaking, does it need fixing?

                          Just curious.............................

                          BTW, great looking ride.

                            is that grill black paint on the headers? I believe grill black paint goes up to 1200F. how hot do headers get?. I've been considering replacing the whole exhaust system to loose the header rust. If I remove the headers, do I need to buy anything before putting them back on?

                            BTW, looks great!

                              Not to Hijack the Thread..

                              I know how you feel Train
                              After months of wrenching and cleaning to get my bike road ready. I think I would rather tear it completely apart than have to clean it all again. It took way longer to clean what someone didn't care about any longer. It's still a chore to keep it clean but the hard part is over at least. Now I just stand back and smile.
