Thanks guys,  :)
I am so excited to see the black stripes that I can hardly stand it.

Got the stripes laid out and painted today.  Still no clear yet, but it's a good idea of what awaits in the next few days.  The clear is really gonna make that Viper orange pop!



























oops, forgot to pull a piece of tape off..

Looks Great!!!  I will be over there on the 14/15 for business.  I think I might be doing the transport of the finished product if it works out.

Shouldn't be any problem having it done by then.  It'll be good to meet you, and I'll feel better knowing it's being hand delivered back to Branden.

What does a paint job like that run?  I really like the layout.  It's very similar to what I had in mind, but with the base coat being silver with black striping.

Hey jumpnkill, welcome to my build thread.
I really don't want to mention any price over the open forum. If Larry doesn't mind that info posted I will let him mention the price. I think each job is different and will get priced based on the condition of everything and the paint you want to use. Feel free to contact Larry via his website, I know he would love to discuss helping you out.

Thanks for your discretion, Branden.  I'd enjoy talking to anyone about a paint quote.  Feel free to contact me through my site, for sure.

Here's the 750SS tank with the Honda wings.  I really like the contrast of the gold and black on that Viper orange.  Clear coats start tomorrow, and it'll make everything come to life.  Can't wait!

Looks great Larry!  I was joking with Branden since I will more than likely get to see it in person before he does.  I might take it home and put it on my bike. ;D

Must feel great getting the motor back together and in the bike.  Congrats on the progress.
Take care,

Looking BA! I love your choice of exhaust, but what made you change your mind about the black?

Just finished polishing Branden's 750SS.  Yum.. ;D























Can't wait to see this bike all together.  Quite possibly one of the most beautiful Honda 750 Super Sports out there.  A pleasure to be a part of it.

Thanks I am really happy with it too. I ended up with the chrome pipe because it was being sold at a killer price here on the forum classifieds. I just couldn't pass it up.
