Looks good! I'm in the middle of rebuilding the plastic on mine.

A couple questions. I'm trying to track down all the hardware (nuts, bolts, fasteners) for the plastic on the bike without shelling out big bucks. Anyone know a good place to find this stuff?

Also, what kind of prep do you need to do in order to paint the plastic and tank? Do you need to strip it all or can you prime over top of the old paint?

Cheers.

oh, and I just went to the harware store and got bolts etc. and I sanded the old paint, used primer, and painted. I want to strip ALL of it this winter because it is so thick in places that I actually had to use filler in places! no idea how to strip it without hurting the plastic though.
