Major issues with the tank forced me to start over. Added some Fire Red flake this time to the initial coat of clear...it sure is "sparkely" in the sunlight. I will wait two days before re-applying the tank decal and following coats of clear.

Not knocking your ride.....
but if it was mine, first thing I'd do would be stock forks and tins. It would be so much classier as stockish, clean Superglide.
