I knew when I spoke with you last you wouldn't cut those wires. 
Glad you got it done and she's looking awesome! Great job Billy!

Thanks Eric. I just couldn't leave it like that. It took a bit but it finally came apart so I'm happy.

I wanted to go down early this morning but I was still hurting from yesterday's thrashing. So after a nice breakfast I ran down and changed out the headlights with the Philips Extreme Vision bulbs. I will have to say that the difference is amazing! I mean, I already had what were supposed to be brighter than stock bulbs in it, but once I started her up with the Philips, I was totally pleased!
So I was then going to sit and do the brake fluid both front and back but it was soooo sunny out and not a breeze to be found, I decided to leave that and go for a ride. Not too far but just to put some miles on her. I came back after about 15 miles and checked and topped off the coolant and checked for any loose bolts. All was good. It was great to be on two wheels again after a long winter.

Thanks Guys! It was funny cause after this photo I realized why I felt the front sort of "skipping" a bit as I made left handers. I missed one of those decals! I removed it after snapping this shot and she rode just perfect afterwards.

Thanks bud! I was disappointed that I couldn't drop off the other set of wheels. It wound up that the guy was on vacation until tomorrow. I'll drop them off on Saturday the 11th. Can't wait for the neon wheels!

Just a sneak peek at the second set of wheels now finished and going to be picked up tomorrow morning. I only have this cellphone shot that he sent me. I asked for a better shot but haven't heard back yet. I am super stoked just looking at what I see here!

The tires are supposed to arrive at Brian's house tomorrow so hopefully they are there before the 2pm cutoff time at the dealership to get them mounted. I can't wait!

Okay, I'm home from PA and I couldn't wait until tomorrow to post this shot. The wheels came out obnoxiously gorgeous! Mario did a stellar job and as you can see the match between the wheels and my M21's is exact!

Thanks Dustin. I'm running the T30's on the gold set but only have about 150 miles on them. So far I'm happy with the feel and also turn in with the 55's. I've only run Bridgestones in the past so I'm not worried that they won't be just fine. That being said I was going to store these wheels until Deal's Gap later this season but after seeing how they came out I think I'll put them on earlier.

They're bright. Can't wait to see them mounted up.
