I got my bike put bake together after the winter project. Still have minor things to do but its ridable now.







And people are not going to believe me when I say its a rattle can...(with a professional clear coat)

The frame is polished and not yet completed. Next winter I start on the small stuff to polish. So I get to make more face and mumble words undermy breath when I do them too.

How long did the frame take to polish? Did you have to take your swingarm off to do it? I want to do mine like that, but I've heard it is a huge pain in the ***!

Lol, I guess there is an advantage to the winter time when you put your bike down. Give you time to do that.

Yes

Not sure on the time, did it when I have free time here and there. Did not keep a running total.

No, I did not take my swing arm off, am going to next winter to finish it up. and yes it is a pain in the @55

Where did you get the screen on your tail piece below your seat?

Home Depot - Its Rain Gutter Guard

Why didnt you paint the mirrors?

Didn't even think about it to be honest. But I do have left over paint so I may just do that.

but why'd ya hafta go and ruin it with a dang bar and shield?

Just to create a little controversy.. and besides the bar and shield are already on the motor so y not one more place.

Now the finishing touch will be the seat when I get it back from the shop. I will post a pic of it soon. Thanks for all the comments, thats why this board is so great.

Nice bike Sar! If I may make a suggestion, how bout polishing the rear sprocket as well? I think it would add even more to what you've done.
