Yep butt assed naked pig *****! 42 hours at this point tear down, scotchbrite and sanding.

Never realized just how nasty "factory" castings were. Seams and edges are gone now. Contemplating lead filling the tank seam..But then wouldn't that be Hardley esque?

I opened this thread with great trepidation..., but was pleasantly surprised. Nice looking body work with no compromised sheep in sight. Going back stock silver or what?

 
Silver?? Now why in the Howie would I spend a week sanding and prepping this hunk of zilla??

Oh hell no! Beige an tan are happening!

Actually the final color has been decided. Jus gonna have to wait :lol:

I understand the paint job, but the sanding down of casting seams and edges? Someone has too much time on his hands. :p

Oh, as to color, I vote for red, Ferrari red.

Damnit Walt! No I'm not going to forgive you :( It's going to be two tone Brodie, just not as much contrast between the colors.

An Greg? yer pretty close on the color. As far as the edges I just wanted to round em off. The tank seam has always bugged me on Japanese bikes. :p

Oh Bust, you were listening to me when I said a nice metallic red with a white oversize Red Wing logo on the sides covering the whole bike? Wow!!

 
Ooh...Are you gonna use that pretty gold color we see every now and then? That would be sweet!

Too bad you're such a horse's ***!

 
I'm goin' for pink.

Ahem - "mommy-part" pink.

Save the Tah-Tahs and all that.

I'm really looking forward to this Bust. Having seen firsthand your creativity and skill, no doubt this is gonna make some of us pissed off we can't do the same. Speaking for myself of course. ;)

But what I can't figure out is why didn't you wait until it got really cold out before ending your riding season. Heck it's only barely getting below 20 deg.s

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out Bust.
