That turned out GREAT! Thanks for sharing your build! Gives me inspiration to keep customizing my own RK. Slowly but surely!

Keep the shiny side up!

Thanks for the compliments, after I buff it I will post a couple pictures of it outside, and a ride report...I'm riding it tonight one way or another. The orange started as House of Kolor Sunset orange shimrom, I added a dark red kandy until I liked the tone, and also sprayed it over a medium red shimron. The Orange was semi transparent and the red flake toned it down a bit too. It is suprisingly bright as hell outside. I love it.

Agreed. Hoping I get off work early enough today to get it out in the snow and play for a bit!

Couple pics from the driveway...I got a few miles on it but the wind was making things a bit sketchy with the sand on the road. Out by my place they dump it by the truckload. Top end was awesome mid was flat, gonna need to order some jets today. I also noticed the left blinker started working after I plugged in the headlight last night...huh. I got it all sanded down last night, and I'll finish the buffing tonight. Just a few little things left.
