    The windscreen is one I made by trimming an 1125CR to fit a trimmed down 1125R windscreen

    Absolutely. I'm looking for a matte finish to match my engine. But I will definitely post up when they get back to me.

    Good question. I've seen the hero blue one. But I haven't seen a cherry bomb red one.

    I got my pipes back from Jet-Hot. Here's a before and after pic. I've been wanting to get the pipes coated for a couple years now. I'm really happy with the results. Now warm weather needs to come back so I can ride

    The sales rep had me send a picture before he quoted the price. I told him I wanted a matte black finish to match the engine. I think the pipes match a satin black finish that closely matches the Designer Black color used on the seat rails.

    It that time of year again when its getting colder out and I start looking for things to do. It's bugged me since last year that I couldn't get the 1190SX headlight to look the way I wanted it to. I have a look that I'm going for so in the back of my mind I'm still working everything out. So I'm not ready to tear down the Buell again just yet.

    Meanwhile I've got this 1190SX headlight & housing here. I thought I might do some tinkering with it. The Garmin Zumo fits good side to side. However, the GPS is shorter than the housing. I don't see a problem there. I think the housing is to tall anyway. I guess I'll just chop the top.

    So it's out with the Dremel tool and carbon fiber again. The housing was beat up anyway. So if it don't work. There's no real loss here.

    I'm going to make another run at installing the 1190SX headlight again. Last year the gap between the forks and headlight irritated me. So I've filled it up with handlebars. It looks rough. But here's some pictures of the progress.
