A couple of upgrades.

Picked up a used sharkskinz lower on the classified forum here from ClevelandSuperhawkRumble (Thanks Jeremy) . Had a couple of holes and some really bad paint. Made the needed repairs and repainted with Krylon Fusion. Also replaced the miserable stock seat with a Sargent off fleabay. This bike is still the most fun streetbike I've owned! Here's a couple of pics of the upgrades!

Looks nice and clean!

First mod on my list would be fork springs. Other than that, just ride the wheels off of it!

Looks great, I would paint the lower in red, but that looks fine as well

Clean is an understatement, i just bought the bike this spring, a 98 with 1100 miles! Most fun I've had on a street bike in years.
I really don't need to change out the fork springs as I'm only about 150lbs so they're about right for me.

Thanks. I thought about keeping it all red but figured a good color match might be an issue. I really like the two tone look that is popular these days. Just trying to figure out a good subtle graphics treatment to tie it all together.
