    So this morning i shot the plastics with 2K primer. brought them home so i have water to wet sand them before throwing black. still have to strip the tank but that wont take long. Get that prepped and its all down hill from there. Decals came from Diablo so hopefully by Sunday afternoon things will be looking sharp. Pics will follow...

        Its been a while but the quick update is that the first coats of clear were laid on late last night after first laying the black on an hour earlier. Tomorrow after the day job i will wet sand a few dust nids away and lay decals. I WILL take pics and update the photo history.

Im gonna bring parts home tomorrow and i swear ill take pics before putting them in the garage for the resting period. I am not Larry but my skills improve with every mistake (lesson) that comes along.

            You've come a long way, Chuck, since sending me your parts to paint. Seriously. Your work has been fun to watch these past few years..you have snatched the pebble from my hand, Grasshopper.

                FINALLY!!! Thanks for the compliment Larry. Heres what ive accomplished the last two weeks. Then today i did fork seal, bled front brakes, put on the countershaft sprocket and installed the chain.. On top of all that mess i rejetted a customers Honda Shadow 2 sizes up after he installed aftermarket pipes. AND AND i went to the laundrymat. Been a 13 hour day.

                The seat pan without the EPA sticker is the one i got from Dan. The tank is the original tank off Dales Penelope bike. Very very little orange peel. Clear laid down really great and im kinda proud of myself on this project. Still need to gently wet sand parts and polish but tge worst of its over.

                  Crap....i forgot to bring the chain guard home....get that tomorrow. Funny thing is with all the angles and curves on a chain guard it turned out the best in my opinion. Side covers are darn good too.

                        Do the tail section and seat trim stripes line up when installed.. Gonna bust yer balls a bit if they don't.. Nice work, Chuck.

                          I have no idea Larry. What i did was leave a little of the original stripes on the inside where they wrapped around and guided off them on the tail cowl. Next i sat the seat trim up to it and started the stripes even with the tail cowl. I made the educated assumption this would get things "close" from the get go....make sense to you?

                            Yeah. You did what I would do. I used to set the 2 parts on a table top and line up the bottoms of the parts and then apply the stripes. The problem is that the parts sometimes don't line up once they're mounted on the bike..and you're left with shimming one or the other (usually the tail section) up or down. Most people don't even notice, but it used to drive me crazy if they don't line up.

                              Eye just seems to be drawn to it.
