    Painting Bike - Color Opinons

    Okay, I'm heading off to the paint shop today, I have decided on Lambo Pearl Yellow... if it looks half as good as I think it will I will be very pleased.

    Factory heated grips < $100

    okay, walking into this late in the game... please tell me why they suck(are they the same as the OEM ones or not&gt;???). I do like the price but whether it's $65 or $160 I don't care if I am warm at the end of the ride..... or if I can feel my fingers during the ride. The Honda grips look...
