In the beginning...
...there was only darkness, only the empty space in the garage. That formless void with no beginning and no end.

And on the first day He created the Royal Enfield C5 Classic Special in Royal Maroon. And It was classically beautiful in Its design, though not without its needs. And He pondered this.

And on the second day He received the Cobra Low Profile seat and allowed it to be fitted to the Royal Enfield. And it was sleek in design and it holds its own against any beastly HD seat. Thus It was placed in the garage beside the hand, power, and bench tools, and He named it something unpronounceable yet in poor taste.

And on the third day He fitted a shiny to It, and called it "Crash Bar". And it was good, so He added saddlebags.

And on the fourth day He energized It with a decent spark plug. And It was even better. But It didn't like the bags, so He ditched them. For now.

And on the fifth day He received his NFG catalog and became addicted to the RE forums.

And on the sixth day He ruminated on the additional possibilities presented by the Forum and the catalog. And He felt it was good.

And on the seventh day he rode. Again.  8)

On the eighth day he looked down at the standard torpedo muffler.
"I want to be heard like other big boys in the forum" He said as he again viewed an endless amount of accessories from the NFG catalog.
Suddenly a dazzling beam of bright light lit up the NFG page. What he saw was truly amazing.
THE EFI MUFFLER @ HITCHCOCK'S UK FOR QUICK DELIVERY of coarse!!!!
Sorry-wrong catalog ::)
Now that's one giant leap for this maroon c5 and one giant leap for hitchcock"s UK website ;D

Somewhere between the seventh and eighth days He removed the stock bazooka from the oven and declared, "Something tells me this thing is only half baked."  And adhering to the KISS principle, ordered a EFI silencer with the caveat that the bazooka will be retained, but kept in the gun cabinet with the other silencers.

Actually, I spend my off days riding, and every night (dammit) thinking of what to do to improve the look and performance. I started by planning only 3 or 4 cosmetic mods and changing the plug.
Now I'm looking at my bank deposits and asking m'self "Gee! I wonder what I can get/do for/to It after the bills are paid?????"
Pretty soon I'm going to look in a mirror and know how Frankenstein's creation felt when he realized his head was flat.
Meanwhile I'll keep ridin' and try not to think about my head.  :)

On the ninth day he replaced his stock headlight with a 7" conversion seperating the light from the darkness and the street from the shadows and allowing him to ride confidently at night and it was good.

I just knew someone would mention the 7" conversion. We're scaring me!  :o
