You sure have made quite the change to her.
Build her how you want her, and enjoy.
Any parts you don't use, others may want to buy.
I know some have been looking for saddle bags and such.
Memebrs here or at the 650 site (link in my signature) may be interested.

Finally got some time to work on her, still waiting on the seat to come in and still need some side panels. Can't wait to take her out for a ride.

Since you are waiting on the seat, is that going to be your passenger seat? Doesn't look like you'll have much room for yourself. Then again, I am a big guy.

The seat in the picture is just a temp seat until i get the real thing. Funny story about the seat, I ordered the seat on ebay and the package came in today, but when I opened the box instead of a seat there was a set of mufflers, freaking seller sent me the wrong package. Now I have to wait another week.
