    Finished the bike today.

    After months of working on this bike and getting it ready for the new season, today I am finally finished. I simply needed to put the finishing touches on the electrical work this morning, but to be done after all this time and so close to the VIR trip is a great sense of satisfaction.

    Here is a list of things that I have done this winter to it:

    Adapt a fairing bracket and add a fairing
    New rear shock
    Keyless ignition switch
    LED dummy lights for neutral and oil
    New muffler
    Add a DVR and camera
    Removed even more wiring
    Add Starlane GPS-R laptimer
    Paint bodywork

    Since I mostly did electrical work this winter, I was really worried that I might mess something up. After putting the final touches on the wiring, much to my wife's delight, I brought the bike back outside. First attempt at firing it up failed, so I checked the easiest of things first, and found that I needed to tighten the battery terminals a bit more. Second attempt gave me the result that I was looking for... Pure V-Twin thunder.

    I am so happy to finally be done. This is going to be a great year.
