Quick update:
I ordered new OEM Headlights and a new fairing stay. I also ordered a handful of new hardware that will hopefully help all the fairings line up properly. Lesson learned.
The list is getting shorter but still a lot to do...
To be "Safe" -Order Kevlar Pants
To be "Proper" -Mount and Balance Tires -Install New Brake Pads -Remove and Replace Front Left Fork Seals -Remove Lowering Link and Raise to Factory Height (several important reasons for this) -Oil Change -State Inspection
To be "Sexy" -Paint -Order ShoGun Frame Sliders -Powdercoat Subframe/Passenger Pegs -Install Upper Fairing Stay and Hardware -Install OEM Headlights -Call Dan to make it Super Immaculate & Clean

Nice dude, I think the Kevlar Pants belong under To be "Sexy"..... or at least I think it should be.

No progress on the paint booth. I dropped it off to have the tires mounted, brakes, state inspection etc... Unfortunately work has been hectic lately for ron and myself, not to mention my schedule is limited at best. Makes it hard to coordinate a day we are both available to get in the booth..

Quick update:
Fairings are going to the body shop tomorrow. Most of them have been prepped but still need a little work before they will be ready, hopefully they will be under primer by the end of the week...
The shop received all the parts they need to rebuild the forks/mount tires/brakes etc. on the bike and it should be 100% mechanically sound and ready to ride by Wednesday or Thursday with a fresh state inspection sticker on it..
The new headlights and misc parts from Honda have shipped and will be arriving on Friday. I ordered all sorts of new goodies to help the install go smoother like new nuts and bolts, fairing stay, clips etc.. Hopefully all the extra fresh hardware will allow everything to line up properly and bring back the factory lines on it.
After the shop gets done with repairs, i get done installing all the new parts, and get the fairings out of the booth, it should look and run like it's brand new.
I'm getting all gooey inside...

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.. I was supposed to get the headlights to finish putting together the front end on friday. I still haven't received them so after contacting fed-ex I found out that the truck that was delivering them was in an accident and burnt to the ground... LOL! Of course it did! the company I ordered them from said they will call me to let me know what they intend to do about it tomorrow.. We will see. It took them 3 weeks to get them in the mail last time, and thats before the whole fed-ex situation. We will see how long it takes this time.. FML

got a call from the distributor, they agreed to overnight the parts to "honda parts line", and then honda parts line will be shipping them overnight to me.. It should be here saturday, or monday at the latest which is fine considering the fairings won't be ready anyways. I should be able to get back in the booth early next week.
