Cool, thanks. Won't be long before I'm painting my fairings. All I have to do is finish the stitching on both sides, fit the headlight properly and drill for the mirrors and I can paint. Well, when it warms up in March. I don't have heat in my shop. I got plenty to do 'til then anyway.

Default The paint has been buffed!

Ok, check it out. The paint has been buffed, the new fender has been painted and installed, and the bike is nearly finished. The only things it needs is the paint on the front fender to cure and be buffed, and eventually we will need a new rear tire.

Many thanks to Wranghonda for the fender!

I totally agree, the old fender was like a Frankenstein experiment gone very wrong. The bike is far from perfect, I know it's been down at least twice, but it looks good enough to pass a 5 foot inspection.

Today was such a nice day for riding. I can't believe I only put 20 miles on it.

It didn't get much above 35 around here. I only rode my dirt bike enough to cycle the Sta-bil through the fuel system. I did, however, get my CBR to roar for a second or two. I'm closing in on getting it to run proper. But that's for another thread.
