    so, this weekend i worked on the bike alot. my new brake light and turn signals came in so with that, i painted my fender and removed my stock tail light. in doing so i removed the grab rail and decided it was a good time to head down to the local hardware store and pick up some new stainless screws to put it all back together with. well today i went to lift the bike up on its center stand. i didnt realize that i forgot to put in the rear pair of bolts that hold in the grab rail and so when i pulled it up to put it on the center stand, it snapped in half. 8O

    how craptastic is that?

    i was going to polish it last night. at least i didnt spend hours polishing it onlyt to snap it. anyway, if someone has a 650 grabrail lying around for cheap, id be interested. i also have some 750 rails that i would trade.

    well if you have any spares, i would be interested.

    ive seen them 43 times since 97. normally it would be out of the question for me to travel to see a concert due to being on daily dialysis and the amount of coordination it takes to travel. however since its 3 nights at the same venue, i can actually have my dialysis equipment shipped to the hotel and i can do my dialysis at night in the room.

    seriously, if you have any extras, they would be much appreciated.
