So do you use the same paint to touch both bikes, if  heaven forbid, one gets scratched up?

Haha Curt very funny, thanks for letting me borrow the trailer! Yes faux fiddy they are both the same paint and I have a color code mixed for me so anytime I need it I just call my paint people and get some "Tuskey Green" :)

I like the color, real similar to a Puch Marco Polo I had back in the day... Imron paint is what was on it.

what a fantastic thread/ story.  Bike turned out amazing.  That picture of your dad on his "new" bike is priceless


Everyone thinks Chuck Norris is bad, but Chuck Norris has not meet Lucky either.  Lucky will round house kick Chuck back to 1969 and pop a wheel with the 1st sandcast while shotgunning a PBR!

Hey brother, I forgot to message you, glad you popped in here to see it. I have been terrible at keeping the thread updated over at the hondatwins forum, mostly because I am always on this one. I will be posting some before and after shots soon, I was able to get almost the same exact angles from beginning to end so you can REALLY see the transformation!

thanks again to all that have helped and supported. now I am helping my little bro do up a scrambler 450 that he can take on fire roads :D
