What I have been up too for a couple of days ;)
For the last couple of days I have been crazy busy doing this bike. It went from being a month project to a couple of days. I had to get it done..it was underneath my skin saying "fix me..fix me". So I did.
Task:
-Take off all panels.
-Sand all panels and fix all cracks and scratches from previous owner
-Fix dent in gas tank
-Repaint
-Install
Next Task:
-Rims powder coated black
-New mirrors
Here are the pictures below. There horrible since it's raining outside and I cant get her out till this weekend or maybe tomorrow if lucky. Soon if worthy I'll try running for bike of the month.

Hahah not married. I am only 22 and living at home. This was all taken in my garage. I have it nice out there since I re-did it to make it my second home.
Thanks for the complements. Once the rim's are done it will be all gravey. Hoping to have that done here in a month or so..depending on money.
As for the gas tank I talked to a couple of my buddy's that are very knowledgeable(Wyotech both). They were telling me that the metal is so thin on these bikes that its better to use a filler(I used DuraGlass). Its a short hair nap that is fiberglass that is water proof,etc. I had to do two small swipes of it and sand in between and it was gone. Stuff is hard like a rock and have to sand with 80 grit and feather it out with 220. Loved the results. If you want I can upload a pic of the after on how it turned out.
