Its funny, as I was writing it out I was wondering how many of the longer term members would see it and think "what?", that's not at all what I imagined. Maybe I should change my avatar to "IDoDirt (it's not what you think)".

 

update.
finished painting the white on the tank. i basically have wrapped and covered my bike till spring to install the plastics.
happy new year,

the paint looks amazing

 

thanks,
it also had 4 small dents. i don't mind painting or prepping for paint. i do hate body work. also i am not going to ride it till it's fully assembled with body included.

 

Looking really good, you are certainly doing a great job, the tank looks great.

 

thanks but with 5 inches of snow this morning i am glad i have a garage.

 

I see that a part of the frame is polished and also the swingarm. Are you going to brush it again to mat it?

 

i am actually not done polishing it. yes i am going to keep it polished.
thanks,
mark

 

I am truly sory if you felt insulted by my comment. My apologies.
There is no discussion about taste.

 

no i am the one who is sorry. i didn't mean to make you feel that way. believe me i have gone back and forth in my mind whether to polish or mat it.
take care,
mark
