I tried to get some pics of the swingarm mounts but its kind of hard to do with the bike together.




I also took a pic of my relocated choke since I will be eventually wiring in 07 600 rr controls


once I can afford my paint this is the color I'm going with

The cheapest I have found it is $75 a quart though.

Yeah it is kind of hard to see the swing arm. You should be able to go to an auto paint supply place and have that paint mixed much cheaper.

Love that metallic fleck paint. Not nice for the budget though!

That $75 a quart price is at napa and it's not their top of the line paint it's I think the guy said it's their tecbase which is about the middle between crossfire and martin senour. They are the cheapest I found it. The cheapest my PPG guy could get it was $90 a quart for the shopline which I would equate to crossfire.
Without taking it back out I dont think I can get any better pics of the swingarm

Been a while since I bought paint. Those big metallics are expensive tho.

Yes some of them are quite pricey. This one is expensive cause of all the toners used to mix it. The guy said it has a lot of them. It will look good on my bike though when I get it. I could probably spray all my parts with a pint but since I don't have a paint booth I'll get the quart in case I mess anything up

Well not much new to post I'm kind of at a standstill until I can get my chain and sprocket as well as the paint. I put all of the parts on so they dont get banged up sitting around and even in just primer its looking pretty mean.

I've mostly been working on getting my friends f2 ready for paint and wiring the green beast in the background.
Too many projects too little time

Always work on your own stuff first. It's a rule.

Well I'm kind of stuck until I can afford the paint and the chain and sprocket for the Honda. The green beast I finally found a service manual for so I can figure out the wiring. My buddy that I'm painting the f2 for is buying my parts since I'm painting his bike is why I've been working on his stuff.
