Thats pretty cool, you can do whatever you want...ALL my plastics look pretty ratty at this point so I was considering an entire repaint. :help
I'm with Novice on this one, touring an rsv is way better than a 9xx...holy crap, all those miles....!?!? i don't know what's most impressive... the trip itself...? or that trip from the "torture rack" that is an an RSV...? the '04's are the only bike that i've ever ridden that makes a 996 seem "goldwing-ish". a few hours seat time and i'd been turning back for home. good job...!
