Default THE TRANSFORMATION: Stage 3

I decided to paint the whole bike myself because I've always wanted to learn how. I already have rock dings in the touring bike fairing and wanted to be able to fix them myself during the winter. Painting is not easy. I have a new respect for people that do it for a living! It was a real step off the cliff to sand and paint over the old Pete Santini flame job- but a hoot to do it from scratch.
