..I wish I could've painted it for you Russ. I'll get back in it one of these days. I miss it. Seriously. I like the stripes, and the satin finish. Let me know how it works out a couple of months down the road. I'll be curious to see how hard/easy it is to keep nice.

Yeah. I could kill 2 birds, visit my parents (I live in Va.) and get a good deal on a project with a lot of the right parts.Originally posted by russr33 View PostComment

Looking awesome Russ, the paint scheme is great!
I hear your frustration, sometimes things just never seem to go to plan... but all of a sudden it'll turn around and you won't know yourself for all the success you're having

So finally, after almost 3 years the Cool Kat II project is finished (well almost; still a few cosmetic things to tidy up but she's a runner).
Using this as the inspiration:
We went from this:
To this:
I will get some better pics at the Harvest Classic hopefully. I head up there in about an hour. Bike just got finished last night around 8pm. Like I said still a few small cosmetic things to work out and I still need to find a set of mirrors I and get the turn signals put on. Simply ran out of time.Comment
