A few hours is all it took - it's just a pile of bits that once was an almost complete bike now, just needed tyres and the seat covered. Going to be a big job polishing all those bits again, any volunteers???
A couple of mods on the frame to do: Remove the coil and flasher mounts then repaint along with tank, guards, seat, trees and a few other bits. Not sure what paint to use this time. I used acrylic lacquer last time, but spilt some petrol on the tank and it stained it. Painted heaps of tanks with acrylic lacquer before but never had this problem, either the paint is different or the petrol is. Don't really want to repeat the exercise.
I could take a left turn with the bike I suppose: stick a rigid tail on it, rake the headstock, put 24" longer forks on, 24" ape hangers on the risers, sissy bar, king and queen seat, fishtail mufflers and hang a fox tail off the sissy bar. For paint I was thinking of painting the engine green, the frame yellow and candy apple red tank and guards, it'd be a real head turner I think.
