It always happens
I think I've got all the bases covered for a pole and the first post has a point I should have covered:rockon:
I think next time I'll put out a questioner first:thumbup:

All of the above and then some! Desire to stand out; makes things better; be different, etc

Gotta do something in the winter!
I'm so bored, and the only thing left that I want to do on the FZ is paint but the shop is too cold for that right now...
So I switched me attention to my 2010 YZ250F and wet sanded and polished the frame... on an MX bike... ohhhh why?! But it looks sick! like a mirror!

I get an idea in my head of what I would want a bike to look like,and then I go buy it and do it.If I get a good deal on a bike I will pull up a chair and stare at while I dream up what i'm gonna change.I do this to every mobile machine I own though.my Traxxas Slash R/C trucks are so modded they hardly resemble their stock forms.... :BLAA: :rockon: :rockon:
Voices in my head...:BLAA:

M: "Don't kid yourself, Tim. You're going to mod again"
T: "You see that, Marshall? That's why I didn't want to do the topcase"
M: "Stop your *****g whining, Tim. You enjoyed doing that mod just as much as I did"
M: "Why do you fight it so hard, Tim? It's Puig!"
You can tell Mr. Brooks is one of my favorite movies

A few reasons for me to mod
1) I always loved wrenching on cars and after wrenching on old project cars for decades, I love how you hardly even break a sweat working on the bike. Projects are done in hours not days, weekends or weeks. It's instant gratification at it's best
2) I am happy to even have a bike in my 40's. I feel like I am making up for lost time. I want this bike to be the best it can be.
3) With a daughter who gets everything and is heading off to private school I feel like this may be the only bike I have for some time to come, so why not make it what I want it to be?

Just since I talked about that polish job...
What I started with
Bottom portion is after 600 grit and first buffing cut. Top is still at 600
And done!
