..I've been really...really quiet about this over the course of me putting this one together. I love build threads, but I have not the patience, or forethought to put one together for myself. I also didn't want to quite reveal the paint until it was done. It's something that is quite a departure from what I see most of the time, but I like it, it's striking in person.
It's not really quite 'done' yet, few finishing touches here and there, but it's a point where I could ride it, and make sure everything works before I put the icing on the cake. Didn't want to paint/finish something and then have to fix it.
Unfortunately I spilled some gas on the tank(figures right?), and will have to figure out what to do with that, looks like it's only in the clearcoat but we will see. This tank was a temporary thing anyways, I have other...plans... :twisted: But, without further ado, here are two pictures I was able to take before my camera ate it's batteries. I will be pasting this also on the Hondatwins forum, so don't be surprised if you see it word for word elsewhere. Oh, and I appreciate all the encouragement from you guys, even though you may not know it, pictures, technical topics, it all kept me motivated through the whole thing. So, here ya have it!
Not quite road legal, no mirrors or a headlight, but wow, it feels good to finally ride it. For comparison, here is how she looked when I pulled her out of the shed almost exactly one year ago:
Comments are welcome, and if you have any questions, ask away. I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.
