Oh, I've also been painting. And I've had it running several times, sounds good!

It's duplicolor rattle-can, medium garnet red metallic (BGM0380), but I used a 2 part aerosol clear coat over it from repaintsupply.com. That gives it a nice shine and protects the finish.

Well, I don't know if it will ever be "done", but I've got it to where I can ride it and most of the work is finished.
There are still some things I want to update, but I can do them in between rides.

Looks very nice, but as you say there is always something else to do. Enjoy riding it.

Well, she's a beauty. You did a great job. Looks like she just rolled off the showroom floor.

That's the front fender that was on it when I bought it, I just cleaned it up some. I think some of the earlier wings had the chrome front fender but some of the more experienced people can probably answer that better. And it bolted right up with no issues.
