Figured out how to get these two from my downloads file. Hasnt been cleared yet.
Larry.... White first then taped it off and shot red.
Black tape or have you been practicing your WIDE pin-striping?
I like the red/white combo.

Steve.. decal set from diablo cycles.
Just came in from clear coating the fairing. Im rather proud of myself for tackling such a complex project. I was looking back at older posts of the tank and tail cowl and i gotta say this is by far the most involved job ive done so far.
Some, like me, will say that painting an S like that is a royal pain in the backside. Looks good chuck. Keep going...
Ed, The fairing with all its contours and compound radiuses is a mother of pearl...if you know what i mean
Tonights episode... final wet sanding and final clear. So smooth and shiney. Time to say good enough and walk away. If i tried another heavy coat like this one i would get a run.Thats just how my luck rolls so ill graciously walk away now.
Looks good.
Mostly because i am too lazy to reread the thread is it a repro or did you find a real S fairing?

Steve, I was given a 78 C model and i had a set of E rims and forks so i thought why not transform it into a red clone. So i am doing just that. To catch up heres the thread on the free C model. It was roached pretty bad.

Painting an S is really more difficult then most people might think it is. Getting it all symmetrical and correct, especially the tank stripes, tests the patience and skill of even the best painter. Your's looks real nice, Chuck. You should be proud. Can't wait to see it all assembled.
Ha, painting a footage is more difficult than most people think! I take my hat of to you folks that can lay it down. Excellent work Chuck!

Beautiful work. Always loved the S. Almost bought one but plumped for a bronze 1100EZ instead.
Got the rotors stripped and repainted. Also put sprocket on rear rim and rubbed Wizards Power Seal into the sprocket hub to stop oxidation. Goal on Sunday is to do fork seals and polish fork lowers and engine covers.
Today was very productive. Got all the engine covers polished, new stator installed front forks polished, new brake lines hung, and serviced the clutch. Front drive sprocket wouldnt fit the splines on the countershaft and fork seals were to tight and wouldnt go in. 7 1/2 hours later in 100 degree heat i tapped out. Heres some before and after pics of the engine covers. Took seafoam and Qtips and cleaned the nasty oil sight glass too.
