Where's the bike?!?! All i see is BLACK

  Well desided to put more orange on ,looking at it from building to lot and only see blk
 2 wk's another color (scalop) then 1wk,orange.1wk clear coats.

[Piute]

  HAD a One time hesitation on the throttle when hit it hard when at about 60-70 mph,So when home think was fuel line so moved to out-side sure flows better Fo-Sho L.O.L.

  "O" Saddle Bags will take one heck of a rollover to even think of cracking off no way,(not with the brackets I'm using.

  With the thick bigg azz steal (chrome)used in place of fender above Saddle bags,All to support Trailer hitch

[shinyribs]

I was just teasing about only seeing black. I really dig the paint you've put on. The blacked out look is always cool. And yeah,those are some crazy beefy brackets! I dont think you'll have any issues there!

[Piute]

   Picking up some steal to mount hitch next ,Have the whole 1st wk of July off doing all then,
  Bike main transPO ,fo me. Rain,Wind Gravel ,Did I say rain I ment down pour

[Piute]

                        Had to put this were it belong,
 Well went moto/crossing with my bike ,cross this bigg field (didn't wont to put on co co nut)was fun hand to stand on peg most the way just to see through tall grass BUT
  horn beat the heck out of my fender was blaming the gravel truck(other post),he still desevred the wave,I remember the lower drain leaked,but no way that much,seals are fine ,SO drain and refill,I'll save what comes out and use paint filter and pour back in and add more of course.going to wait before paint just in case

[shinyribs]

Mine was bottoming put, too. I drained the ATF and used 15wt fork oil. It really firmed up the front end. Not too bad. Doesn't bottom anymore and actually rides much smoother.  

Sad to see the fender boogered up :(

[Piute]

   I'm betting just low for me ,20wt. 1oz heavy ,guess time fr more painting

   "How to patch chips"

   Since It's just the paint paul sugjested to just lower tubes were they sould be in the tree's,witch is 1/4".
 Doing that and primer the chip fo now(wait to see if happens again)only wont to repaint once more.

[Piute]

                         This on and replace front winkers will be ready for inspection AGAIN

[shinyribs]

Again?! Antique tags bro.Thats the way to go No inspections,no personal property taxes and no decals stuck to my purdy fork legs!

[Piute]

Every thing is inspected here atv,boats,your wife,tax on all tagged or not ,my KZ 750B will keep it's (Wisconsin)vintage plate.Don't bother me gotta have patiants is all,But all can be modified after,straight pipes , no winkers,REAL STUPID but they just wont money.A.B.A.T.E. is weak in this state or lot of this wouyld not be .

 Because I was awake and on the road heading to Fayetteville at 6:15am(were B.B. N B.B.Qs will be) To meet up with Vintage riders Breakfast club,any how 20 mph switchbacks 30-35s everywhere,long 40-50s also but lots of great riding spent good 8hrs in the saddle running her 90mph N up (straight aways)trying to catch up after they past slower vehicles,Bike did great ,couldn't use my rear brakes cause swing arm bushings  need replaced (wasn't missing run)had no time to change.These roads were not made for cars of trucks but bikes and not no bigg azz H.D.,they were out there ,but seem to be parked at Bar watching us have all the fun,maybe seen a couple outside of some towns but lots of street fighter style bikes ,think 1 went off a cliff (group of 25 or so on side of road)will check that

                                         NOW this is a CB 750 F2 hitch That works
                                                        
                             READY making more adaptor mounting plates N struts.Next.

  Tested my hitch this past wkend pulled a emtie boat trailer couple hundred pounds from backyard storage area to her truck,messing around really

[Piute]

   Wellfinally got started on the other side of TANK(5-6months)NO-TIME.
 
                               #1 materials used rubbing alcohol to clean 1st

                              #2 tape design(yes I use cheap tape) base painted 5months ago

                             #3 use paper cover everything,VERY light 1st coat(tac coat)

                              #4 2nd coat light good coverage

                            #5 3rd coat Lil heavyer

             The paint is as thick as about A layer of tape

     Pull off tape right after that last coat,pull straight back(tape cuts itself clean)for no slobbers


    I leave bottom paper(just in case something falls)keep pulling off close N straight(best)

I use can(bomb)paint cause easy to get touch up and is not a show paint just clean

[shinyribs]
