Hey, that's better. Now I can see the pictures of your bike. Nice looking bike. It appears real clean other than the P/O's detail painting. He must've been bored & had some left over red paint. LOL!
I'm a big fan of preserving the original paint & finish when they are in good shape. Are you sure that you want to re-paint that tank? It looks like a real beauty! Wish I had one that clean on my bike.

lennyway:
Yes I'm sure ;D
I don't like the red, metallic paint is not my thing, I like it flat. There's a small scratch/dent on the left side of the tank.
And I don't like stock :) The side panel on the right is broken so I'll have to repaint it anyway.
Yes the red detail painting is very strange. It's also not exactly the right red so that's even more annoying.
I just painted the headlight, now it's all black like it should be.
But an hour later a friend of mine helped me to put a new round headlight on it, ha!
lennyway:
Put a new small round headlight with a yellow lens on it.
Removed the horn to make it fit. Will try to relocate the horn.
Still have to find a new way to attach the front blinkers and to lower the meters
Luke:
Coming along nicely! Man they even got the rotor with that red stuff huh? :)
lennyway:
Yes, that will be probably the last thing that I will paint black :)
I was staring at my motorcycle for an hour or so, something I always do when I'm thinking about my custom plans. And then all of a sudden I saw a key hole..
I thought what the heck is that? Since everything on the engine is painted black I did not see the hidden toolbag, super cool. Looks like all the original tools are still inside!
Will post a picture of it tomorrow!
