Forgive my lag here, I got busy over the weekend. @ProdigalSon, I need new tires, front forks redone (seals and new springs), a couple plastic bits here and there, front brake reservoir, and it's started weeping from the rear main ever so slightly. While I'm in there it's due for a spline lube.
@Chaos, I am going to experiment with some risers while keeping the S bars. I did remove all the fairings today, as well as the bell pan (@natalena), but kept everything tidy and saved all the hardware and mounts. I discovered several areas with missing hardware which must have contributed to the front fairing shake I was experiencing.
I am on the fence about putting all the fairing pieces back on in the future, but no matter what, I want to paint it another color. To me the red is less pleasing than black or white. I cobbled together a standard/naked headlight and lunchbox combo and will be trying that out. If I could find a nice small fairing for that I might go that route until I repaint all the other bits.
Thanks for the warm welcome!
