the install should be something simple enough that I can do, may have to borrow one of those screwdriver things from Gumbi though...  ;) ;D
Bring it on over, I'll even help between beers.  ;)

Just trade it in and get a new black bike.
Good thing you did not say that at the beginning of this thread. That would of required lots of my tools to swap over all of his farkels.

You wouldn't think that a brick wall would cause that amount of damage  :(

Well, actually the flash is making is look alot worse than it is, I bet most people wouldn't even notice it even if looking right at it, but me just knowing it's there makes it tough to even concentrate on anything else, my eye's are now just drawn to it like clevage...  ;)

If you would have parked in the parking lot and not on the sidewalk that wouldn't of happened. Sorry but that is one my biggest pet peeves, seeing motorcycles parked on the sidewalk.

Well it's not really a sidewalk (bad choice of words on my part) it's more like a open cement area by the can recycle in front of the store, it's about 8 to 10 feet wide but I do always park as close to the wall as possible (this time too close obviously) to make sure I don't block off any foot traffic...
 
For me, an advantage to being on a bike means I can park it where ever, sorry if that bothers you Joe.  :-\

I told him that already!  He needs to ditch the gen 1 and get a black 2012.  Then he can start all over with the mods :)

Many cities are not bike friendly, try getting a parking lot for a motorcycle here in Seattle.

I just cant say enough how many of these types of things the 3M kit I got from kneeslapper has saved me from.  I think it was $52, and when the first kit arrived short one piece they sent me a complete new kit!  Love it!

So I took a black Sharpie to those little scratches and it actually came out pretty good, now only visible if you're right up on it with the light right.  :)
 
 
I'm still gonna swap it out when the new one arrives late next week, so if anyone is interested in this one let me know, if not I'll post it in the classifieds late next week.
 
 
I had a tough time getting the scratches to show now in pics due to glare, but if you zoom in you can see them...

I thought your looking for a reason to have them wrapped with that carbon fiber looking material.
