I've never had a good chance to use it, but OMG!! Dang, that is some awesome detailing. You're bike is going to be incredibly....elegant is the word, I'm thinking.

Im sitting here looking at the paint under different lighting. You just simply have to see it in person to really be able to appreciate it. Hopefully when this is all done with I will be able to photograph it well.

Thanks guys for the comments, I too cannot wait to see it together.

Waiting on one set of break pads, decals, and my fingers to heal so I can finish sanding and polishing. From there I will take it to the shop to be adjusted, fluid filled, and everything readied to ride. Going to be 60 and sunny here all week....

Default Great Job Brother

I actually sold this bike to this guy! I have to tell all of you that it couldn't have went to a better guy! He is like my little brother and I wish that I had the time and the desire to do what he has done here... the only problem now is that he is going to have to SHOW THIS BIKE and stop riding it!!! IT LOOKS GREAT BROTHER!!! Can't wait to see it when it is all done... I am still looking for the CHOPPER!!!

So this may seem small and stupid, but ive done a LOT of this. Cleaning up bolts. I chuck them up in my drill and run them across sand paper for a second then polish compound.

Here is an example of this done on the rear sprocket bolts
