RE: I actually did it!
Nice paint job!! I've taken some custom painting classes in downtown L.A. on saturdays. You should check it out if you are into custom paintjobs. The instructor lets you paint on your own sheet metal and or you can bring your own stuff. We practiced pinstripping, flame jobs, gold leafing, custom graffix on cars and anything you want to paint. If there's ever I chance once your are done I would really like riding with you man and I can really check out your paint job in person. Looks really good though.

Nice job. I like the HD MoCo around the circle.
Be aware that White Supremists use the #88 to repesent their affiliation with *****. "H" is the eighth letter of the alphabet. "HH" represents"Hiel Hitler". Just what I've heard. Just so you know. I'm not trying to read anything into it. I know your bike is a 1988. Ride the hell out of it.

i never knew that
hopefully no one will ever accuse me of that, my bike doesnt have any other symbols or anything on it. im thinking maybe i should add a small "1988" in white letters on the air cleaner. just so people looking at the bike can make the connection.
and it sucks for me, i am a mexican but i look white as f*ck, im a white sheep of a brown flock haha

RE: I actually did it!
well that mothers polish really does work well , but when u get down to polishing, you realize how big the bike is and how much are you have to cover, so im doing a section a day.
i want fork gaiters like on the old sportys on my bike
i went down to the dealer and looked at the nightsters, i realized if i got those ones, i could cut a line thru the back and slip them on my forks without taking everything apart, and then just secure the top and bottom of th e rubber boot so it doesnt move around.
if you've ever used that plastic flex tube that is usually in the electrical seciton of automotive stores, youll know how i want these things to go on.

Hey Joe,
It's not much trouble to slide the fork assemblies down to install the boots. Remove the caliper, loosen the pinch bolts on the triple trees and ease 'em down. Might as well check your brake pads while you're at it.

. no dealers have them in stock anyways so it probably wont happen for a few weeks anyways
