Really nice bike. My vote would be white tanks and fender, with red and blue graphics of some sort.

Decided I should throw a paint job together. Was digging the primered look, so I just had a few vinyl decals cut and sprayed a satin clear coat over it. Not sure how durable its gonna be, but for about 60 bucks I'm pretty pumped.

I think it looks like at least an $80 job. Here's the tank on the bike.

After the oil tank was finished, I was able to run oil lines. That was more work than I anticipated...

That's supply, return, vent and a drain line. Got my sweet oil cooler on finally. That piece really makes the bike look tough I think.

My only real frustration with the end results are that I have one line crossing under the frame, right near the kickstand mount. There was just no other way I could figure out to route it. A couple of the turns were pretty tight too and jamming those hose barbs in place was tough on a couple connections. I also finished my forks and filled them with oil. The dropped front end was crushing the old boots down to far, so I swapped them out for a shorter, meaner set.

Starting to look like a real bike now.

My speedo cable is probably too long though. Brakes lines are next.

Finally pulling this thing together - got all the fluids done, and piecing together the last bits of wiring, etc...

Just in time too - I got extended an invitation to participate in the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show this coming weekend in Austin. Should be a good time motorcycle wise in Austin this weekend - MotoGP race and all. Check out the show here, I'm honestly honored to be a part of it:http://www.handbuiltmotorcycleshow.com/blog/

Here are a couple of the "glamor" shots I took to send them for the webpage. Not my favorites, but it was short notice...

If anyone is planning on going to this - maybe I'll see you there.
