Impending divorce...

I just made an order with Newcastle HD for the majority of all parts needed for a firebolt front end conversion minus fairing and windshield. I plan on getting one of the zero gravity offerings, not sure which one yet. I also put black heel guards front&rear and R foot pegs in the cart. Tired of touching my toe on the ground in some of these 15 mph corners here in NorCal. I have an SCG, it scares the **** out of me when it happens...
$700. Total.

I also need to wait to do the install till I can fork out $400+ for a GPR stabilizer. Only doing this once...

I commute a lot on this bike but hit the twisties as often as possible which is often.

How many of you guys embezzle money from your family's to support this addiction? We should start a help group...

Lol... Funny.
I can't stop buying parts. I had an excuse when the engine went but now? My bikes name should be Lee Majors.this stuff isn't cheap!

Going for the $100 Revzilla.com gift card, nice...
I like that windshield. It could be the one. I like the parabolic lense warning from Zero G. I can only imagine explaining why I need a new cluster because my pricy windshield melted the old one. Ha......

hey, take a look at my old thread on the S to R conversion....would highly suggest the posting on the headlight connector and pins for you to do if you decide to convert it back. makes your headlight plug and play and avoid hacking it up and using crappy wire connectors in the process.

Thanks. Useful info. My next issue is forks. I want to convert from SCG to S-R height and I'm not sure if I'm going with the 41mm tubes in S-R length or upgrading to a new 2010 ( black like the new upper )lower tripple tree and black forks or trade a pair of 43mm forks.

:up: ...depending on your color scheme of the overall bike, black goes with everything, but don't care for the "murdered" look that seems to be the "in thing". it's just been overdone mainly on cagers and on some bikes. good luck with your project

Thanks, I would like that. I'll pm you this weekend to figure out shipping. I'm riding out to Lake Taho this morning. It's getting colder up there, last weekend befor I'm unwilling to freeze.
