Got the front wheel off the ground. Scared the bejeezus outta me!
Accidental or intentional?

I got the rear wheel off the ground...with my paddock stand :). It is the easiest way to lube the chain.

Accidentally, I wasn't even at full throttle!
 
It felt almost, for just a split second, like that woozy feeling you get right before you get knocked out, and then I had a perma-grin and couldn't stop laughing. I'm assuming that this is a normal reaction? :D

Installed reworked seats.
 
Rider seat (recontoured, more padding, new vinyl). Got rid of the bolts holding the rear of the seat in favor of Velcro attachment (this allowed padding to be thicker).
 
Passenger seat recovered to match rider seat.

It's only about 1/4" but it just reflects so bright it looks bigger
It looks like you have whitewall tires :). I am going to get some red reflective tape for mine. I like the look and the visibility. 
here is the ebay seller i got mines from seen this used on alot of bikes in atl and tracked down the seller...

@Guru here are the pictures of the LED lights (sorry about the lousy quality but it was in low light with my phone). It was a very easy job. Both bulbs are the same 5W bulbs. Next is the turn signals as soon as I decide which ones I want.

And here is an even worse photo of the license plate light. I also took off the metal bracket that the license plate frame was on and bolted the plate directly to the fender. That just requires drilling two holes in the plastic. Another easy job.

Today I pushed the limits on a tank of gas....got 211 miles on her before she sputtered into the gas station :)
That is very impressive! Bone stock, no exhaust or fuel controller?

Well, I didn't really *do* anything to the bike, but I *did* receive something...two things in fact.
 
My Black pivot covers arrived today from Belgium thanks to one of our forum members, and...
 
I got a call from Traxxion Dynamics telling me my AK20 forks and Penske triple clicker rear shock are completed and being sent to me today and will be here next week! I can't wait!!!
 
Hope to have it all together and be able to ride by next weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me :)
