Here is a shot without the oil pan, I needed to replace the starter clutch. It is immaculate inside, the glare is just from when i snapped the photo.

Im going to try and get the frame and swingarm, battery box and other assorted items painted this weekend. Im painting the frame and swing arm and the battery box Mineral Gray. The paint im using is, the Duplicolor paint that you dont have to reduce and, im using my air compressor and spray gun. It is turning out really good. Ill post more pics when im further finished.
