      Here's a picture of a Dart with it.

        Wow that's a lot of letters. You sure you're not a pilot?

          Yeah, I bet if the 777 had all those letters installed they would have found it by now.

                It's Finished

                Yep, I finally sanded down the tank and side covers this week and my friend polished them for me today. It's not perfect but I'm happy with how it runs and looks. I still need to add a voltmeter and a different license plate bracket but those will come as time permits. Sure felt good to put the emblems back on that's for sure.

                  That's a great color, and it's good to see it whole again. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person next week.

                  Hmmm.... I owe you a PM.

                    Thank you Dale. If you are going to be at Jim's tomorrow then you'll see it then as I'm planning on riding down.

                        That bike is awesome. Mine is the same color but it was red at some point. Very nice bike.
