We've made some changes to the color choices and it's gonna be awesome!

Well, I finished getting it apart and now the parts are headed to the painter

I just don't know, but I think your man cave needs something.
Get rid of those chairs.....find an old couch.
Hope the beer is cold.
Enjoy working on the scoot, I'm sure she will be kickass come spring time, if not sooner.

Man cave? What the EFF is that? I don't carry no man-purse........this is a garage! LOL
The chairs work good, if I had a couch I'd never get anything done
The beer is ALWAYS cold!
It's been a blast getting her tore down. She should be ready to go back together by the first week of December, HOPEFULLY

Just waiting on a swatch from my painter so I can approve the color and turn him loose on it

I'll update this thread as things move along

Oh I understand. It's only getting down into the low 40s here this week, so I'm still riding too. I rode to work tonight. The rule is to keep one assembled and running at all times!

Here's an update. We painted the rear fender Sunday to see what the color was going to look like. All the parts should be painted next Sunday so I can start to put the bike back together the following Friday, if all goes as planned.



Here is the rear fender with one coat of red pearl and no clear coat. The final product will be 2 coats of red pearl and 7 coats of clear



These are all pics of the same part with the same paint, in different light







































What do you think? We are extremely happy with the way it turned out! It looks great in the sun!
