LOL!

Hit the link in my sig for much vapor blast porn, or visit my website for more information. It's a fantastic process for restoring aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, and I've been doing it for about 18 months. Would be delighted to tell you more, so as not to hijack this further, be in touch!

That's a nice, warm red.  Looks similar to CB400f red but warmer.

What are you planning for decals? Or are you going with straight red?

Yummy!

I have been into this red thing. Never owned anything red until the last couple of years. My Ducati, my Accord Coupe and now the Suzuki.

Even bought a red clock.  ;D

Love the color Steve.  ;)

No decals planned.  I do have a set of metal Honda wings that I bought a couple years ago, I may consider mounting those on the tank?

 What brand shocks are you going to install Stev-o ?

Well Ikon's , of course!  Bought from the new U.S distributor, RestoCycle!

Thanks again, Nils.

Like I said, I GOT PAINT!!!





So today, I mounted up the new Ikon shocks, they look great, highly recommended.

Also put the new upholstery on the seat, am very pleased how that turned out.

Mounted the gas cap and lock, and had to do a mock up...





As you can imagine, I am pretty jazzed up!

Made a couple paint changes to the fairing, so that is not done yet.  Painter is off killing birds, but it should be done next week.  Need to install the petcock and fuel lines tomorrow...

Super momentum boost!

Looks fantastic Steve, and very glad you're happy with the shocks. You'll love the way they work too.

Finishing line ahead! Savor this final detail time, its the best :-)
