Hope it all takes. I know from experience that not bein' able to walk normally sucks... big time.
That is such a nice , clean design. I love it, I can’t wait to see the whole bike together! 
Wow that looks fantastic
Once again, mind blown. This is 2000, 3000, 5000 and 8000. That's all. No polish yet. Unbelievable!!
And after a trip to my "polishing room."

I didn’t even know they made 5000 and 8000 grit! Nice!
Reminds me of the paint scheme on my 70 DT-1's. Love it.
Neither did I until Terry (46GA) pointed 'em out to me. Sent me some actually....
Um that needs to be over in the adults only section, jus say'n

Very nice!!! Really like that red.
I forgot just how many pieces were involved, that’s gonna look very striking!
Shit... the first scuff and a whole effen forum is gonna hate me...
Want I should scuff sumpin' for ya? You know... save us all the suspense?
Anybody know where I can get a 10 year supply of "Kid Gloves"?
I am doing this bike so I know how a 650 rides. My tracker is a 750 so my experience is jaded. I will certainly be more carefull with this bike, I detected a small scuff in the tracker tank after the 2023 Ozarks Rally. I hope to not see a mar in this paint till 2026. Saying anything like that sucks but we don't do forks and bearings, swingarms and shocks,( and all the little details) and then NOT ride a bike. I actually cut through 2 81 backrests today. One was 3/4, the other 7/8 OD. Depending on "end cap" finishes I will use one for the "hoist it on the center stand" handle.Yeah man….you better just display that bike in your living room!
