Oh so you used the same paint just different color.Is it holding up well? I used ppg grease and wax remover on all the pieces. I seem to have pretty good adhesion.

Yes it's holding up just fine. the beauty of this is u can just spray a dab of touch up if u need too.B)

Thanks I have it torn down again I'm gonna finish the frame this week then that will be done. Still need to get the subframe welded up. Just trying to get cheap stuff out of the way so i can save some money for the motor bits. It's coming along pretty quickly. I am having trouble staying busy I just have all these loose ends that kinda overlap each other so it's tough trying to just get things finished.
Peace

well I reblasted my upper cases and tried to paint them tonight but the weather was messing with the paint I'll try again this weekend. So I moved on to mounting my rearsets. I have them half mounted I just drilled a hole then welded a nut over the top. the bottom will have a threaded plate made and welded to the frame. but heres some pics of it.

yep it is plenty strong I will relocate the battery to under the seat itself. It is bolted to the back of the frame.

well I finished mounting the rearsets and made a tab for the brake res. What do you guys think about the heel guard? I am considering ditching them or making new smaller ones with speed holes drilled into them.
