Great photo set! Your shop looks very complete and comfortable. Did you paint the engine or leave it “clean”. Very nice work.

this bike motor i had vapor honed, the build before this i powder coated everything...except the headers (link below), i did some testing with the power coat, seamed to handle 500 deg F multiple cycles. think the engine should never hit 500 deg F.

that triangle bag i had made will have to be modified, it will hit the chain path currently.
Nice job on the 650. Is that a Hindle exhaust on it?
