Hey There Fellow 800 Riders

Just signed up for the site. From looking around, it feels like I struck gold with the information on here!

I have a 1997 VZ800. It's mostly stock, with the exception of a windshield, bags and a USB charge port.

The bike has that annoying exhaust rattle when it's first started and lasts for a few minutes. This issue is mainly why I signed up for the site, but will undoubtedly find support for other issues.

The following are my wish list items for my bike:
-New full exhaust system, preferably flat black.
-Black out most of the chrome throughout the bike.
-New paint. I'm thinking a WW2 sort of theme. Flat OD green, with Gun Metal grey striping. Similar to the picture below.
-Add hard bags with paint to match.
-Add sissy bar.
-And probably a few more things I can't think of right now.

Hi GavsDad   I'm liking the idea for the paint job
