It's a terrible pic. The garage lights make the bike look white. Its silver.
The 'strings' by the seat lock are actually the reflection on the panel corners.

It will get one of Dean's cans soon w/ the programmable ecm. And some different mirrors.

It really doesn't need anything else.

Me, on the other hand....I have been on XB's for the last 10 years. And have never had a water cooled bike.
I need to pick up a good 1125 service manual, and start reading. I ordered the USB manual, but have heard its lacking.

I started a light strip down on the bike, want to make sure it's all right before I start the break in.
