cutting back my VTX riding time....
« on: March 10, 2009, 08:08:09 PM »
Adding a couple new wheels to my garage, so I won't be on the X as much....  2001 Kawasaki ZX11.  I had a 91 model that I bought new in 91, and I've missed it terribly...  this one kinda fell into my lap.  I can't take possession for a couple week, but I'll live.  :)

What I do today is very important because
I traded a day of my life for it.

Whatever you want to do, do it now.

No but I hear HDL will be making a conversion kit for their new Q5 or whatever the heck they call it!  LOL  You KNOW I'd put one on!

in all seriousness, I doubt I'll be doing much of any modification to this bike.  Maybe little internal upgrades and the like, but I'm certainly not going to be chroming it or anything like that.  LOL

If it isn't chrome now, it isn't gonna BE chrome.  :)  I don't see doing many mods to this bike at all... maybe a fuel management system but that's about all.  No, I don't think I'll go darkside... LOL
