I have 2 coats of Rustoleum Professional fire engine red on the frame and fairing bracketry.  Sorry, no frame photo yet.



Painted 2nd round of black on the Rickman fairing (wet-sanding between coats).



Stripped the tank and even managed some time to bash in some knee dents.

I really really hate knee dents....take a good looking tank and bash some dents in it......oh what a waste of a good F tank!  :-\

Anyway nice photos Ben and really looking forward to seeing the fairing and brackets on the bike...I hope you are going put the Hayashi wheels on this bike!  ;) What are you doing for a seat and an exhaust?

cheers

The dents will be on the subtle side don't fret yer britches ya big Scot!  Plus there are 2 big ugly dents from PO's that are getting some filler too.

I've been thinking about the Hayashi's on the F3 too.  I really love their ride on my K6 though!  The Hayashi is drum braked as opposed to the hydraulic disk for the F3 so that would be a challenge.  I do like the disk in the back.
