Time for paint

[76shuvlinoff]

Nice. Anything beyond a quick hit with a rattle can painting is outside my realm, fun to watch the progress.

Got tired of fiddling with it and decided to just shoot it. I got a small area of fisheye inn a white stripe and a fleck or two of dirt , but I can live with it. My brother has been on the ventilator and in the hospital for 80 days and is now able to be released to a rehab center. I will stay with him for the next 2 weeks. When I get back I'll finish up and show all the different old crap I used on this job.

This is the stuff I used along with various sandpaper and tape. The tickets show what I spent on the stuff I didn't have. Also my fancy late model paint gun I shot everything with

Finally got time to get her back together.

HA, convenient comparison by going back to the first post.  I always liked the red and white colors but I gotta say the black and white with the heavy red stripe is real nice (and different too).  You did good with unknown paint quality and used what you had.  I like that too.

That did turn out nice. Nice job.

Thanks for the kind words. It's been a fun project. Also got to fix alot of tinker stuff that I didn't even know was wrong. Mainly a broken frame !

I always disliked windshields... until I got one.    The downside is you hear.... everything.

I ran that same windshield for years and liked it. I cut it down to match my height with the touring seat installed.  I over tightened a fastener and cracked it then it spread.  The shovel became a 2nd bike and I tossed the windshield. (My sister got in wreck when her windshield came loose and jammed up the steering on her sporty so I am leery of stuff like that)  I have a new one still in the box if I ever want to go back to the more original stance. It would work a lot better on mine if I went back to stock type handlebars.

Yup. Windshields suck...till you don't have one. This one however is to tall and needs cut down a few inches. I've also entertained the idea of a fairing.

Wow that turned out really nice! Very tasteful paint scheme, well done dude. I also am not partial to windshields (or fairings), mainly because they buffet my head so bad it blurs my vision! Much prefer a sleeping back bungied to the bars if it's going to be a long ride.
