See how the clear settles down in a few days before you decide to sand and reclear. Sanding that baby down for reclear will be no picnic. Easy to blow through edges...then ya have to spot in repairs....Ugh. I think 4 coats should do it. Worse case scenario may be, sand down the more visible sections of frame and then buff.

Won't break my heart if I don't have to sand the whole thing again! My hands weren't happy sanding filler and primer on this thing!

I totally understand.

It is looking great. The thing that sucks, if ya start putting it together in the next few days and the topography of the flake starts coming through. One of the down sides of the Nason. But like I said, you may be able to get away with going over the more visible areas with 1000 then 2000 and a light buff. Some of it won't really matter at all. I painted my frame black for this very reason.

The frame is one of the most important components of the whole bike and yours really does 'Glow'

The good news is my swingarm won't be here till late in the week so I can see how it cures. Plus it gives me time to prime the tank and tail. I'll get you an email on the mask decals later tonight. Thanks again for all your help!

You are busting this thing out in record pace and full class! Well done on the progress and details.

Thank you and again thank you for your help! Been tough with my full time job, my 13 month old and other bikes I'm working on. I try to go out for 2-3 hours every night get things done. I need to have it wrapped up next month visually so i can try to get it into the Handbuilt show. He needs a pic of it to decide on. Then I have about a month to wire it and work the kinks out. Most of my motor should be back in 2 weeks. Mike is wrapping up porting my head and the rods should be done getting balanced & shot peened soon too and my cylinder is almost done.

Other piece i'm waiting on is race tech to finish my shocks. They are now saying the end of the month. Which puts it at about 2.5 months to build my shocks.

Rods are done and in my hands.

And the parts keep coming! Got the final peices for the motor back from vapor blasting. My shot peened and balanced rods from Mike, thinned and drilled brake rotor from Geoffrey, new cam chain from 4into1. I now officially have all the pieces to assemble my bottom end! Plan is to do this next Friday on my day off.
