So as some of you know, my 05 LE (baby) was hit by an Suv late 2006, and I took the insurance money and went to a custom paint sceam and some minor custom bodywork. Well since then everyay has been a battle. The fairings have never really sat correct since then, for example, pre accident I had the genmar/helibar/ZG double bubble set up. Post accident can't get that set up to work. Two different fairing stays I still hit windsheilds (I think it is because I changed my front headlight). My paint is all flacking off now in the spots that I could not pre and left the dealer to finish before I had to move to a diffent state, and I am just slowly watching my bike look like a battle scared wretch. No matter how much sweat I pour into her I keep getting hit with surprises. Well last night when removing my forks (blown seals) I found more crap wrong. I was 2 seconds away from turning the whole bike into a rattle can flat black street figther and being done with it. Anyway I have since calmned myself, and have decided to start a new. I will ride the paint right off the ol gorl this season and this fall we are going back to the sand paper. This really disappoints me because I had my grandfathers air brushed on the tank and I will not be able to afford to save that. I am getting rid of my custom upper and going back to the stock headlight. I am going to a more basic paint scream, something that requires less maintenance and less TLC on my part. I am done. I spend to much time fixing issues and not enough time riding my bike. done done done done done done done. Just wanted to vent to people that would understand. Thanks.
