Just think. Now if you just paint the tins black, you would have an all black bike. Just kidding. Looks very nice. Way too much time spent for me to do my own.

That would be way too much black!!  This is as far as I go.  Really, the only reason I added black to the engine, carb and manifold is to bring out the polished fins and all the rest of the chrome.  Black makes them stand out better!  ;D

That's only because you and her look at the world through "HD-colored glasses".  Take those specs off, and you'll find a whole new world out there.  Or get some different specs to correct ya'lls near-sightedness. :t

What spot?  If you're referring to the tins, they won't be changed!  >:D  If you're referring to the "orange peel" on the tank, it was repainted a long time ago when Global Motorsports scratched my tank!  :banghead:  I think the painter rushed the job because I had called him to find out where it was...joker!  :cuss:  You've known me how long, and you just now noticed it?  :t
