^ will do, and thanks.  i'm gonna go by the store and get a parts list this week to speed up the process...  i'll work on getting the more difficult parts and let them handle the rest.  the nice thing is i have a semi-decent chunk of change to work with, thank you insurance. Smiley    how lovely when it doesn't come from your pocket, lol.

Hey kids-  sorry to be totally absent from the forum this past month or two-   just got my bike back last night!!! she looks fantastic, sounds great, feels superb!!  i have a better spot for her now, but here are some pics (in the old spot); doesn't she look purty? 
Can't wait to finally meet y'all on some rides now!

New headlights/front fender


So shiny! The detailer @ Cyclemall did an AMAzing job... thought I was gonna have to repaint her, but this was not the case!


Looks beautiful... even if you can still see the burn marks from where this happened. (again, she's in a safer spot now)


So when are we riding? :p

You're welcome! 

I never saw your bike pre-torching.  Didn't know about the mods.  I thought maybe they were generous "gifts" from your insurance company.   Evil  Wink

I might be riding sunday morning.  Not sure where, though.  Prolly local...

...   i pocketed the 'generous gift' from my insurance company.  *cough*    (is it wrong that at one point i told my shop 'damn, perhaps the bike should burn more often!')   Evil   not that i ever would do something like that intentionally, of course...  this was pretty devastating.    i may wait another week or two til i feel comfortable going on a canyon ride- it has been three months, but i will be looking out for sunday & mid-week ride posts.

good job on getting it back to normal, it looks like the repairs weren't that bad, so that is good.

^ thank you guys, but au contraire re: repairs... it should have been totaled. everything combined that was torched, including the fork seals, was way more than 2/3 of the bike's value. my shop somehow convinced insurance to let me keep it... i'm very grateful.
