Here it is. There are still some scratches, and pieces that should be replaced. The tail section is still broken, so I can't ride it much.
The powdercoat and painted pieces turned out pretty good even though aluminum doesn't powdercoat as nice as steel.

Thank you to everyone who helped me get it back on the street.

If you don't mind me asking, what's up with your license plate? Aren't you legally required to mount it in such a way that it can actually be read? The cops would have to be in low riders or Corvettes to see that!?

Readability is directly proportional to angle of observation.

Actually you can see it well from a car or truck. Considering you are not right on top of the bike.

Exactly Drift. When seated in a vehicle you can see it just fine. Large trucks cant see it.

Eric, your envelope has been in my center console a week. Sorry, I keep forgetting (I'm a guy), I'll drop it in the box today.

What else do you need Alan ?
maybe someone who didn't see the list before will see this one... or maybe I might have acquired something over the weeks.

I like the blue details. I'd look at a blue airbox logo and blue wheels.

I'm not a big fan of the amber though so take that with a grain of salt.

Yeah Brian, all the amber is going away. I don't know what to do to the wheels yet though.

No worries Al! If it was not for my wife I would bet your parts would still be on the kitchen table. I also fall guilty of the "i'm a guy" thing also.

The lightning bolt vinyl was on there when I bought it. I'm sure that any vinyl shop could make one.
