          Beautiful job. Did you paint it or get it done in a shop?

            I mixed the paint, but I can't take any credit for spraying it. The bike was painted in a shop by a buddy of mine.

              I painted and restored (cars) for years, it looks like he did a real nice job. The whole bike looks great, you should be proud.

              Just make sure no one steals it.

                Tag, Your It.

                OK Jeff, How Many Sites Do I have to Chase You through to Tell You that the 1000 Looks Great. Cause However many it Takes That's What I'll Do Because It Does!!!\\/
                sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
                2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

                Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                  Thanks, Scott. I keep running out to the garage to make sure it's still there.

                          Yes! I had been waiting for two months, he wasn't going to get away this time.

                            Thanks! I should be getting a 1000s fairing on it soon. I have the mounting brackets and the windsceen, but it wasn't here in time to get painted.
