    Project Skunk Complete!

    I'm calling this one DONE!! I finally put the finishing touches on the Skunk. Polished and painted wheels, drilled rotors, new Sport Demons, bar end weights, and new aluminum turn signals. All done except for a good wash and detail.

    Here's where I started:

      Shiny Skunk

      What up Bruce?

      Congrats, that is looking fine. Too bad the weather sucked last weekend!

      I am hoping all my parts will show by Friday, so I can wrench and maybe ride this weekend.

      Enjoy,
      -Chris

            Chris, you ain't lyin'. The weather sucked last weekend. I was supposed to be bringing my red hotrod up to Bruce's place for some of his mojo. Oh well, that gave him the time to finally finish his beauty!

            Nice job Bruce! Save some of that majic for when I do get to visting.

              One hell of a restoration. Looks fantastic - looking forward to seeing it at the Yosemite get-together.

                  Bruce looks great, the seat looks very original who did it? I need to get mine done also. I finally got my 79 running and the webcam 151i is just what I hoped for and the VM28 pumper carbs work great with very little spent. Dan

                      Thanks, Dan. The seat is original.... I bought it on ebay.

                        Ahh yes, the paint. It was supposed to be gloss black with blue and gold pearl in it. My painter thought it looked "bland", so he also added some (alot of) lavender pearl. At night it looks black, but in the sun it looks dark purple. I didn't like it at first, but it's kind of growing on me. I may have it re-painted next winter.... without the lavender mixed in. But for now I'm just gonna ride it! :-D

                            Very nice Bruce.

                            Hard to believe it's the same bike.
