Well then, I guess Jim is going to have to stop lazing-about girl-watching and drinking beer - and get down to business if he's going to put a "Dent" in that backlog of projects......
hehehe - see what I did there?

Hi Gary
Bikes are black except for Nortons which are black with silver gas tanks. If it's red it's a firetruck.
Or a Ducati thundering past you
I can tell you are not going to like me very much...
...and we're off...
Ears are for the Victor. Everything else belongs to Kevin's Red Bike.
Don't worry JP... did some putty and sanding on an XS2 tank also.

What clear ya' using?
Sherwin Williams sumpin' or other.... 
I'll look next time I'm down there. Feet said it ain't happenin' tonight.

Pretty obvious the "Red Bike" ain't gonna be blue...
I think that will be a very "retro cool" look. Simple XS650 ('81 w/18/19 rims) '77/'78 style head pipes with commandos, Texavina standard style (not cafe) seat, simple headlight and taillight mounts.

Woosh! Now I need a cigarette.
Think I've showed this little tip before...
Keep some old brass or copper sheets, blocks... chunks layin' around for filling holes. Chuck it up in the vise and it makes the perfect heat sink for welding thin sheet. Set it under the hole and the puddle won't stick to it.

That is a very cool process.
Wait... what?!?

Epoxy is your friend.
The single color and light reveal contours that are not present in a stock painted bike. Those crease/contours are invisiible in standard paint.
