Thanks. I can't get over how good the frame looks also. Its not a 100% detailed job and some of it was halfassed but being flat it just looks really good. plus the imperfections don't come up at all, unless you're like 6 inches away.

The tank however. That's gonna need some more time. Right there it has a clear coat on it. The first one actually and I hadn't gotten to wet sanding it at that point. Right now its on its second coat.

Dude steve has a really nice GS lol I had to throw that in.

Dude I can't remember his name right now. Beer-something..... I think. But either way he pounded in his own knee inserts. looks pretty good but I think bondo was his friend

BeerGood Yeah him and byrdman and one of the guys off the DoTheTon site pretty much talked me thru it...sounds simple enough and in any of those jobs bondo is required...how much is all about how careful you are with the deadfall hammer...lol I got one tank coming in exchange for those gauges i had off a GS1100 (the huge jetfighter ones) and i really want one more got a couple of leads..havent heard back from them yet.

I would suck at it then. I have hammer skills like a carpenter/mechanic. I'd probably just mangle it

[TheCafeKid]

naw they say it pretty much goes the way you want it...with light taps...i too have construction hammer hands...lmao the key is getting the leading edges right..its cake from there

[Ironriot]

DUDE I FORGOT TO ASK. HEADLIGHT EARS I NEED HEADLIGHT EARS. Please tell me you have some

[TheCafeKid]

I do...I have two sets...but i think they're set up for the square light...might not make a difference cos the square light sat in a housing. Since i have two ill toss em in with the other stuff... and since you're my bro...they're all yours. Let me know if they work!

[Ironriot]

Dude... thanks a million. You're the man

[TheCafeKid]

Dude... thanks a million. You're the man

Brit racing green is a good color. Nice bike though, why paint it. I think I apreciate these old jap machines more and more each day. Cuz man I got a hankering for a chopped XS650

[Ironriot]

If we're doing pics for sh*ts and giggles I wanna throw in this one. Completely custon turbo diesel bike. Just about everything is hand fabricated. I want one lol
