So the bike is really dirty, but as I've been slowly working on it and today was pretty nice outside, I figured I'd get all the body work done on the bike. So as you look at the bike, keep in mind the fact that I have not tried cleaning up the engine at all...let alone the frame or anything else. The body work is really the only thing I've done so far...other than the Daytona bars and switching the Vetter out for that single headlight that's on there now.
The body on the bike wasn't in the greatest of shape. It was faded, scratched, dented...the works. I have NEVER done any body work before in my life, so I used Bondo on the dents in the tank and it came out pretty good. I had been planning on using the bed liner to begin with, so I knew that I didn't need it to be 100% perfect. But I still think it came out pretty well.
So today I laid the bed liner on all of the body panels, except for the front fender. I have some other plans to do to the front fender before I cover it, so I figured it could wait for another day.
I really like the way it turned out. My camera's flash isn't very good, so it looks much more textured in the pictures than it actually is. In person it's got just a slight textured look to it, and I like it quite a bit.
My seat cover, on the other hand, turned out not so great. I had originally ordered a brown/black one. In the pictures it looked like it was black with brown highlights, if that makes any sense...but when I put it on it's just plain brown. It doesn't go at all with the bike.

He said the truck was very quiet now but wieghed a lot more. In an effort to show how tough it was he kicked the door, 
I don't think it was as tough as he thought as it dented.
