And the clear is on..
The only problem I van see, the chrome look paint shows up the imperfections.
Look at those welds, I thought Yamaha had gobbled up all the non welders to build their frames,
They should pass a law forbidding the Japanese from building motorbike frames.
How does the chrome look paint wear?
