    Looks great! I like that clutch lever, very cool looking. I just got mine a couple weeks ago as well and funny thing is mine was yellow with 7k miles on it too :-) hey when you brought it to that dealer to have it checked out did they say anything to you about a pwr steering recall? Unfortunately my local dealer is horrible and wants to nail me to the wall for anything and everything. Sound like yours is amazing though. I was reading about a pwr steering recall and wondered if they said anything to you about it.

    Actually I bought it from a car dealer, a guy traded in his chevy SSR and the can am (both yellow) and they advertised it on craigslist. I took the can am to a local dealer because in 7K miles the origninal owner did ZERO maintenance to it and thats when we did find out about the power steering recall so I did get that done and they didnt charge me. There is also a gasoline vent hose recall and i believe one of the first recalls was the gas cap.

    Heat gun and then alcohol to get the gummy crap off and then a good waxing

    Installed the mono cowl last night and plastidipped the rear of it and the tail where they meet to save the paint, also bought the alternates to the supplied rubber attachments. Working right now on a color scheme for the bike to change him up a bit.
