Finished shooting new paint on '98 Ultra trike last week. Labor of love, for sure...been down for a month and a week.
. Color is '49 HD Burgundy. Prep and disassembly was a bitch. Shot 2K polyurethane with an HVLP gun.
. Got tourpac together, mounted and rewired yesterday. Replacing every fastener with stainless steel. New tourpac latches.
. Painted frame satin black. Next is fairing, then trunk lid and fender. New brake, clutch, throttle, and idle cables. Replacing ***** in ramp with 10mm to gain a little more clutch disengagement.
. Best case, will be riding in a week. Ken
Trunk lid photo is best representation of true color.
Forgot to mention a new metal polish I'm using on the old chrome. Best I've ever used....and cheap. 2 applications even takes light rust off. Highly recommend this stuff.
Thanks, guys. Unfortunately, my organizational skills have gone by the wayside since selling business and retiring. Can't find a damn thing anymore. Brain and body feeling the age. Just gotta keep on pushing. Ken
lol. Ask any veteran if they are familiar with Brasso!
Nice color

Quiz your supplier..
Love that stuff. Both of them work great, but I prefer the Nevr-Dull...no need for cleaning rags. Stuff is hard to find though. Anyone got a good source for it?
