Re: she runs...
rims and tires are on, brakes are on, front end all torqued to spec, rear almost done, can't do the main axle as I still have to put the chain on, but the calipers are to spec, so she is almost ready to Rock and Roll.....
So here we go.....just a few pictures...

Well I was able to get the chain on, and not only that but after it was all in place, I even took her for a test run......
WOW, WOW, WOW
Running like a brand new bike, everything works as it should, OK brakes are a bit soft, so I might have to bleed them a bit more and see if I can get any trapped air out if it's in there...
The months of work really have paid off, and I am proud of myself, once again....
Can't wait to get her plated and scrub in the new tires and really give her a run.....
It's going to be a great summer
and of course a few pictures....

I like the look of silver. That's all you need is one more silver vehicle. If that happened, I'd say you have a 'theme' going. Lol.

Re: she runs...
That stuff must level out really well. No chance to sand once is sprayed. Maybe just peel off and spray again.

Re: she runs...
no sanding, and it self levels, well you can cause runs and such, but as you say, peel off and start again......the trick is very light coats to start with, and then a couple of heavier coats to finish it off

Dressed
Well she is naked no more......her clothes are back on, and I even went for a small test run, only 7 kilometers, it started to rain....bummer
so overall she goes well, brakes are a bit soft, don't really grab, some buzzyness under certain rpm's not sure what that is all about going to have to figure it out, she pulls good and strong, can't over do it tires are not scrubbed in yet....
I have not put on the mid fairings, I don't have the mounting bolts and nuts and what not, have to still get those, so it's like she is wearing a very short skirt....LOL
I am happy....my work has put a smile on my face....
I will take some glamor shots once she is fully completed, but for now these will have to do.....
