The bike is really looking good. I would like to hand pinstripe my bike. Do you have any experence in this area? Could offer any advise? Keep up the good work and post it.

Yeah I love pin striping. Not really a do it yourselfer's kind of project, tho if you were interested enough in buying the brushes then you'll enjoy striping everything in our house. Its one of the hardest things I've gotten the pleasure to fool with, but I don't think any paint job is complete without stripes. I'm going to pm you some resources on striping.

Thanks for the complements.

Still no progress. I'm buried under other stuff and my garage is ridiculously full. I'm toying with the idea of selling this bike. I'll put it back together and you can run it before it goes if you're interested.

Just a thought related to a comment above, but a black engine with bare stainless fasteners looks pimp:

Yeah, I'm using stainless fasteners & love the look.

Bad weather and caught up on everything I can do inside means slow progress. Leafing the fender today. Its my first time trying gold leaf so as soon as I get it all sorted out I'll post pix.

Edited for pic. Waiting for the last coat of gold to dry then I'll stripe it.

BTW, those contrasting bolts look awesome on that motor. I really like the gold caps too. Looks like the same color as late model calipers.
