I like that clutch lever, whats that off of?

Just a generic clutch lever from the local Honda shop. Nothing special.

The seat looks almost plush compared to a lot of the choppers; and the Bears orange is great. If you ever ride that thing around Terre Haute let me know. From the looks of things I may be able to hear it.

The seat is comfortable. It's not as loud as you might think so if I'm around Terre Haute, I'll let you know ahead of time.

You can get TWO part clear fuel proof spray paint in a special spray can, AND it IS compatable with Duplicolor!

And apparently I'm going to need this! The paint right under the cap is starting to turn tacky again. Where can I get this? Autozone?

Ok, so I ordered the two part clear-coat and shot the tank again. Seemed to be Dupli-color compatible. I let the tank set for a week before filling it with fuel again. So far no problems.

I also replaced the vinyl seat with the same one in leather and added the matching pillion, so anyone who's interested in the vinyl seat, let me know; it's basically brand new.

I picked up some 120 degree NGK plug boots and some 8.5mm MSD plug wire to clean up the spaghetti mess of wires I had going on up front. Check it out:

Looking great man. I thought I just found this thread, then I realized I had posted on it back on page 1! I gotta check in more often

SOHC Digger · « **Reply #161 on:** May 02, 2012, 04:47:16 PM »

Thanks, Man! Going through the titling process right now. Once I finally got a good contact with the State Department, things seemed pretty cut and dry as far as what I have to do. I really cannot wait to tear this baby back down for some paint and Loctite!

It's been a while since I gave an update. Still waiting for the titling process to come through. I will say that nobody from the State has been difficult or unreasonable. They are just inefficient and anal... which is not a productive combination. I just had my packet mailed BACK to me a 2nd time for paperwork that needs to be modified. Hopefully 3rd time's a charm. When all is said and done, I will start a thread detailing everything that is needed to title a bike in the State of Illinois so hopefully somebody else will benefit from my trials and tribulations.
