While the oil is draining, time to take the front nose fairing off...
Here you can see the time delay relay which I installed previously while waiting for peter to send me the HID's and new fairing.

Peter, now I know where the oil smell was coming from, the oil filter was barely hand tight.

If you love your bike, set it free. If it comes back to you---you probably highsided!!

All is good, except I needed to rotate the ballast on the right down for clearance.

Check to make sure the lights work before installing completely.

Peter,
It was good to see you and drop the bike off to you. I hope you enjoy and ride safely. I will post some pictures of the drop off.
Cheers,

Ted - I owe you tons. Thanks! I hope I never have to return the favor, but I'm there if I need to!
You are awesome!

I am so proud to have been able to be part, in some small way, of this event.
Words escape me.
That the nose-fairing I sent will be slicing the wind for you is the source of enormous pride for me.
This is the fabric from which this forum/site was cut.
You guys rock and this thread is the cherry on my absolutely spectacular day. Thank you for sharing.
A couple of pictures from my trip to Durham to drop of Peter's bike. I think he forgot what it looked like. It didn't take him long to get back on it, that's for sure...
