Lookin good! Make sure to put some locktite on the shifter bolt.

Yeah, that's an important one.  3 months after picking up my used '06 the shifter came off while riding.  Let's just say it wasn't terribly dangerous for me when it happened but that initial Oh $#@! moment, well now I can laugh at it.

Those pictures bring back memory's of rebuilding my bike in 2007 after it was written off when I was run off the road. I went through all the same steps. The sanding part was the worst. Just when you think your done sanding you spot a piece that looks better than the rest and you realize your not done sanding just yet. Grab more paper more water and another case of beer (YEH.. BEER ....BEER is very important when sanding ) and saddle I mean settle right back into sanding. But once it is done you and the final paint job looks great. You feel real good about what you did which by the way calls for another case of beer to celebrate a job well done. :beer:

Not going to invite you over here again, you'd drink all of my beer.

Well, let's be honest. Not everything is going smoothly........... Today in the paint booth we encountered some bad 'crackle' problems with the paint on a fender. Sanding, two thin coats of primer, three thin coats of paint (and 3,5 hours) later the fender was ready for the clear coat.

Overall, it was a long and productive day with great results.

Yesterday we worked on the finishing touches about the spray paint. This time we tested some 'racing stripes' or 'striping' (hope this is the correct English). Today and tomorrow we will finish all the Tupperware with 2 layers of clear coat.

Striping is the word, stripping is not something that is suggested you do. So far it looks good enough for me to ride. Carry on!
