(Dang SOCAL dealers and the 2K setup fees)

During my search, i saw a bunch of '11s for $13.8 or so in Sacramento area, just got
to get away from socal a-holes. I travelled out of state so I could get a non CA bike. States that border cali get cali bikes.
Does the '12 carry on the tradition of no O2 sensor?

Black wheels....

I want the black wheels. I just attempted to clean mine, silver sucks.

a dash of wd40 on a paper towel and the brake junk will fall off! Then make sure and wipe the WD40 off good or the rims will attract dust.

Going on record here to be the first to offer up a trade. My silver wheels for anyone who buys a '12 and doesn't like black rims

The sun finally came out. I tried to get a better picture of it in the sun. It did not come out very well but here it is

I guess that I just need to see it in person. As just from the photos that I've seen, well, I just don't care for it. Now this might change when I see it in person.

Why oh why didn't Mama Kaw let us have the Moondust color that they had on the 2009 UK?

Looks close to the color of the FJR I had... but I like the color of the 14 better

Every time I see that exhaust, I am reminded of how much I'm glad I changed to the Area P, just for the aesthetics alone. And gorgeous color, btw.. I love dark reds/burgandy's. And the black rims, sweet.

I love the stock exhaust. I think it looks cool and matches the bike well. Yes, you may call me crazy if you like.
