That's a nice color. I've owned only one green bike in my lifetime. You know "they" say that green is an unlucky motorcycle color, but I never had any bad luck with mine...

Sanded the tank and other painted parts and primed them up.



Got the framed painted


Got the new tires on the rims.



Started putting the engine back together with new gaskets.

Spirited Green Metallic.


Buffed up nicely. I hate it when I neglect to take a good "before" picture.

hey folsoml make sure you put the intake on and bolt the jugs down so you can align up the intake for a good seal. Somebody else might offer some feedback on this
