Dmp fe kit, puig windscreen, and shogun frame sliders arrived while I was asleep. Can't wait to get them on. The windscreen is a lot darker than the picture showed but good quality.

WoW! When was that?! Regular sleeping hours that would be Early morning delivery.
Lol! I don't even remember what regular sleeping hours are. I crash at 1:30 pm and am up at 9:50 pm every day. Been working nights for about 12 years now.
Rep this and respect man!! I did night shift 10p-7a or something like that for about 2 months in college during break. Could not last, could not adapt to day sleep and that schedule at all. I quit and took a different job till I found something else again.
No $hit! I agree. I worked a whole summer night shift during college, no way I can do that for 12 years!
I worked evening shift too for a while (4-12am) The sleeping pattern was a bit more normal but your social life take a big hit! You don't see anyone from M-F! That one place I worked they were doing the 4 x 10 hrs thing... At least you had a sort of 3 day off. That was a good trade off I tough...
I figured that working day shift was my thing. Then I worked for race teams for years! LOL Go figure... work every single holidays, weekends, get up at 5-6 am and if you're off the track by 10pm, you had a good day! I had a few too many ride to the hotel to take a shower and go back to work... ya 20-22 hrs shift!
I was living the dream, working on race cars! LOL :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

It's not to bad. Don't see the wife or son as much as I'd like but it has its perks. I've been in trucking the last 6.5 years. Less cars at night to piss me off. Just me my rig and a mostly clear highway. It's kinda zen like.

If all goes according to plan, I'll be picking up my new FZ6r this afternoon and going for an inaugural ride.

Well, I have to make sure the kids are in bed and we cover the windows in the garage before the wife and I christen it... Oh wait - you probably meant something else...
And thanks! Glad to be here. I'm counting down the hours...3.5 to go. I hope I'm not "that guy" who crashes it on the way out of the dealership parking lot...

Don't be that guy. Be THE MAN who wheelies it out of the parking lot.
I kid I kid!

You must be kidding because I can't even ride a wheelie on a bicycle, despite spending 100's and 100's of hours on a seat in the last 7 years.

Everything's installed
Dmp fe kit = easy
Motodynamics smoked tail light = easier than I thought thanks to Mistah T's you tube video
Puig racing dark smoke windscreen = really easy
Shogun no cut frame sliders = a pain in the ***. My OCD kicked in trying to make them even on both sides but the right one kept moving when torquing it down.
All in all I'm happy with it.

How do you like that Puig Racing screen? Toss up between that and the Yamaha DB for me.

Won't have a chance to test it out till tomorrow. Here's a closer look
Yes please give us a brief review. I have my standard one blacked out, but I'm gonna chop it down like some others have done. Tired of getting hit in the chest and helmet by deflected air. Chopping the stock down helps and looks nice.

Woke up early, washed it, changed the oil, and lubed the chain and meeting a big group in about an hour for a ride. Excited! The wash was much needed. Riding in the rain sure makes a mess out of your bike
Got my Trex spool adapters on finally, but need a stand. The one I bought is too narrow. Gonna order a new one soon. Been comparing a few.

Rode a couple of hundred miles with a buddy of mine. He rides the "precursor" to our bike, the YZF600. Ended up in Julian and had lunch at The Rong Branch. I'm sure the photogs got some pics of us, just not posted yet. But here's some he took on his cell.
Here's a couple from one of the photogs.
