Not for a few months yet,lots to do mechanically yet.Then I have to start the bodywork.I hate riding in the rain.Do my best to avoid it,not always possible here though.Looking good!When do you figure she will be ready for the first ride? I like the detail work you have done. You arent going to want to ride it in the rain/wet. I had mine all polished up at the end of summer, now it is all dirty and needs a good cleaning
I am going to wait until it starts getting warmer/less wet before I clean her up again.

Back when I first got them I removed the 3 sets of pipes.Had not one broken bolt.Decided to not tempt fate more than I already had.

Hmmm maybe I should be contemplating that too then. I only have four bolts in total and all four came out with no dramas also...

Been working on some things
Painted a oil cooler because I realized it would be a PITA to install if I put the 4>1 on.
Speaking of 4>1's test fit it to try out the studs.The second from the left hung on something.Really hard to get a nut on it.Once I did it popped into place
Did the unseen frame to.

I was on the fence on painting my frame back to black or dark metalic silver and you clinched it for me.

It's this stuff
I was looking for something close to the stock frame color.This stuff was recommended in another thread.Very tough rattle can paint.Putting the engine in twice barely touched itThis color is the bonus of that choice..Mechanically it's getting there.Big chunk of bodywork to do,remember it's:
An EFF,lots of plastic to be sanded,even with a power sander

I've used their appliance epoxy paint in black and you are right... though stuff! Funny, I saw the stainless just th other day and read the label. Claims it has actual stainless steel for the metalics.
THANKS!

I am so glad that my husband is now getting on with the work on his bike. If spring comes and it isn't ready to ride he will be a very upset man, which I really don't need.
