Looking good FC. I would be tempted to do the rest of the bodywork in the same way...

Hmmm... Didn't see your post. It is very tempting but there is only 1 more month of summer. Need to ride now! And I might spill gas all over the gas tank and completely ruin so it will look even more like crap .

Slowly saving up for a REAL paint job. What I did to the fender and side cover is just a temporary fix.

If FC is lucky, a lot of girls will like that color.

FC doesn't need a girl.....He's got one on the line

I still wish it was blue But it's your bike

It will be blue later. I still plan on getting two sets of bodywork .

Agreed...Make it mechanically sound and ride the heck out of it...

Making it look nice-nice is a winter project.

Get a blue tank as well.
Get all available colours and fool the cops by swapping at random.

That's why I'm riding the He!! out of mine as well. It needs lotsa cosmetics, but getting the mechanical bugs worked out while I save a couple bucks to hopefully fix the truck for winter. We'll see what happens. I plan to ride till the thermal underwear no longer keeps me warm

I was gonna say the same thing about the tank! Stole my comment Jeeprusty! :P

Yup, the bike looks good enough right now. I'm hoping to get the mechanics and electrics all good then ride all summer and possibly through the fall/winter as well. It depends if it snows or not.

I was planning on a set of red bodywork, which I already have and another set in blue. I can do that with my school's autobody shop! And I have chance to get another set of body work.

But right now, we wait. I need more money and waiting for my carbs.

I missed a few interesting eBay auctions. But I decided that they weren't really needed right now. It rides fine as is.

So I still have electrical problems. None of my lights works except the headlight. I hope that this will fix it.

And if that check panel control unit doesn't fix it, I will have to chase wires.

Man this past week has been so boring. Waiting game sucks! I wanna play a different game, dammit!

I know how you feel FC... impatiently waiting for 13th August when I'll get to fire the 450 up again...

You'll be riding that thing a lot sooner than I will the 450!

I rode it last week . But yeah, still some bugs to work out.

I am also waiting for you to start that 450 up. Must hear exhaust!
