Tank, rear frame covers & front fender in self-etching primer and ready to move forward.
The tail is still a work in progress.
This weekend I need to figure exactly how the tail light is going to be set into it. Then the tail can be finished up, side covers and a final plan on the front cowl/fly screen can be figured out.

After 3 attempts to build a fly screen for this bike, and all looking like crap, I went to plan B. I lowered the gages down about 3 or 4 inches and I'm happier with the look...
Still fighting with the tail & tail light, as well as how the plate and rear turn signals are gonna end up back there. This is the next big problem I plan to attack.
What IS finished up and behind me is the can. It's on, finished and solid as a rock.
The tail, side covers & sealing up the front wiring behind the headlight are the things that need to be knocked next. As soon as time permits I will get that done and get this 'lil bike to paint.

About there...
With 20 days left till the kid comes home on leave this is were I'm at. All major work is knocked out. Just a few covers to fabricate, clean up the tail, tear down all I built, prep it all, shoot paint, and put it all back together. That about it, just grunt work from here. Next update should hopefully be a finished bikes and it's rider.
