    Getting My Red Hotrod Re-painted

    Time for a new paint job. Plus I got a plastic front fender to replace the chrome one.

        Nothing like litening the load. Easier than going on a diet!

          Lucky you run a front fairing otherwise it would be a wheelie monster with that lightweight front end

          What colour scheme you going for next or a repeat of the old?

                got a few years, and a lot of miles out of it.

                Actually the paint was still in pretty good shape. I needed to have the fender painted, and the fairing was off color. Close but not the same shade. So I said what the heck, paint it all again.
