Well had to do more touch up as I saw some more scratches that I missed and tried to sand them out and went thru the paint ! Oh well **** happens ! retaping up as did a sand thru Glad I still know how to paint with my roller ! Ready to clear tomorrow as have a little pearl orange to touch up on the front fender and a small silver pinstripe .
Well, got all the spots touched up and fixed scratches and chips, taken care of on the paint work one more time ! Had to fix numorus spots on every part as doing touch up on the purple pearl and the orange pearl and the ghost flames and of coarse the silver pinstriping and some of the art work on the Harley emblems and of coarse the Taz Turbo guy that I did on it years ago . But I'm really happy with getting it done as it's been over 30 years since it was stolen and getting my mind back to putting it back together makes me feel good ! So today finishing a couple spots on the front fender orange pearl and ready to clear by noon . About 3 hours of clear work and it's done ! Next week doing a little sanding and buffing and will be able to finish putting it together. Today was a good day as figured out the wiring that was cut and removed to finally get the high beam and low beam working and surprised my self that I did it ! look close and you can see the ghost flames as they start from the HD and go back ghost flames also on the tank Finally nice to see the paint work done ! Touching up the purple pearl Both tanks touched up
Well been a fun day wet sanding and buffing but got it done on the fenders and installed them with scraching them ! LOL front fender started out wet sanding with 600 then to 800 then to 1500 then buffing 3 stages Rear fender same thing wet sand with 600 then to 800 then to 1500 and buff 3 different compounds wool pad then a yellow wool pad then a foam pad fitting tail light gasket on Put lights and turn signal bar on but the day starting as I forgot to run the wires so take off the fender and run the wires thru the inside tubing in the fender ! Putting on the front fender have to fix the wiring as the rear fender electrical plug is 2 inches short of plugging in so must have the terminal boards backwards up by where the tanks between them . tomorrow play with the wiring and fix it as had a fifty fifty chance if I put the terminal boards on right ! Oh well **** happens as the bike was in boxes when I got it back and memory 30 years ago isn't perfect but it's falling in place .

It's coming together very nicely.. The purple frame color is kind of retro to the early 2000s and goes very well with that BDL primary.. NICE... I really like the way it's coming together... what do you think the power is going to be with that Turbo and do you have any work to the heads? And as usual I'm going to need to know everything that's in the motor.. thanks.. I'm kinda a power junkie.....
I looked on the invoice that I got from Aero Charger at the time as the turbo pistons and crane cam and there electronic kit as they sent with it . said the HP was supposed to be right around a extra 100 HP . My good friend that worked in a engine machine shop put the engine parts on the new Harley engine that I bought brand new from the Harley Dealership. I know that voided the warrinty ! I do know that when I had it running 30 plus years ago it had unreal steady power as I almost slid off the bike if it wasn't for the tail light license plate !
Bike looks great, very period. Quick suggestion, the turn signal bar you are using is for a factory bike that had a license plate below and therefore has the lights down to illuminate the plate. I am sure you didn't hook them up, but my point is it is bulky. If you find the similar light bar from a Road Glide which had the license plate above, the bar itself is smaller with no light. just a suggestion. I would assume it would bolt right up same as the one you have installed. Bad picture of the one on the back of my 2005 Road Glide.
