I have now owned the Vegas for a week and I do love it but........................ I don't LOVE it until I make it my own.

I started the tear down on Tuesday evening. I have removed all the turn signals along with the rear license plate holder. I also have installed Ness drag bars, Ness levers along with risers.

I removed all of the tin and delivered the parts to Lisa at Autos2NV.

Tonight Ron helped me remove the wheels. The front was a breeze. The rear wheel bolt was somewhat stuck. After beating on it for a bit it decided to give in.

Here is what I have in mind:

Flat Black base with gloss graphics on the tank, front and rear fender.
Gloss Victory logo on tank (painted)
Gloss black wheels

Should have it all back together in a few weeks. Here is her current state.

Sweet. When you get her done, it should look great in a Craigslist ad!

Is it too early to start the betting on when this bike goes up for sale?

I'm starting to get the impression that when you older you'll be able to say,"Yeah, I had one of those..." except you'll be able to say that ALL THE TIME! hahaha

How did the riding go last weekend? I think I saw you on I-70 around 12:30ish.
That thing will be awsome when you get it done!

It's a blast to ride. Different than a sportbike of course and I will probably get slain for saying this but I think I like it better.
