I actually may go with no lettering at all.  But #2 seems to be the popular one, even friends I've asked who have no idea about motorcycles or Hondas say #2.

I'm going to do a second with leather, since that was my first try I think a second go would come out a little cleaner.

Installed braided stainless brake lines today and WOW what a difference they make!  I guess the old lines were really bad!

haha, yeah, that's pretty much hilarious. Cheap Target special. My wife doesn't even use one, we only have it for things like this.

I've been doing some painting lately.  Here are the repainted lowers.  I'm going with a non metallic grey for the fuel, oil tank and the tail.  Also rebuilt the front brake.

Rode the bike today for the first time in almost an entire year!
granted, I rode it with the battery only holding on by zip ties, but it worked!

Just sent out PMs about the tails for sale.

I also just posted about them in the "parts for sale"  section of the forum.

Welded the battery bracket for the tail.

Lets just say, I'm not destined to be a welder, it's just not my thing.
