I thought I was aware of all the differences between the Gen 1 and Gen II C14s, but I sure don't recognize
that alien toilet seat lookin' thing with the offset to the right wee wittle winky slot. 

What the heck is that?

That's the plastic plate that goes on the back of the passenger backrest for the Corbin seat FM.

Oh, OK,..I guess I forgot that you had that. I've seen so many pictures of your bike with
the smuggler on it that I forgot that you occasionally ride with your under age bride.
I was afraid it would come to this, if I'm to keep up with your many projects, I'm going
need to start taking notes and keeping files.

Very nice, I’m anxious to see the colour on the components…going to be epic!

I applied for a BNSF job in Tacoma today, hopefully I have to make a trip up towards you and Chet for an interview.  I can't wait to see his beautiful Silverdammit and your (run of the mill) "Gawddammit" Green.     I am more than just a little jealous.

Fingers crossed I can make any trips this year.......

I can't wait to see green.

I noticed that there was a fully assembled mirror on the bench. You do know that the colour panel comes off, or are you painting the entire mirror housing?

Looks like everything but the panel is taped.

Yep, as Gumby mentioned I had them just tape off everything but that painted triangle section, I thought about trying to remove that piece but heard too many horror stories about folks breaking the tabs trying it, so I opted not to risk it and just tape everything else.

Sheesh, so many posts and no green. Finally subscribing but it better not be much longer or I'm out-a here.

Hey ZG!

You should make 'em all wait till St Pat's day for the unveil.

Actually C that will be pretty close to the date of "total" completion I bet, parts should be done I'm guessing mid next week, then about a week to cure a bit, then a couple days for install... I think St. Pattys day is 3/17 right?

Now that's the way to sell me on the green

Yep, 3/17. I had to roll up my tongue (I almost stepped on it) before I could check the calendar.
