I think I am going to go for the raw metal look, the way the frame shines from the sandblast looks pretty cool, so I'm just going to clear it.

How well does the bike idle and run with the pods?

Just got myself an air compressor, and was playing around with the gas tank.

I think I'm going to fill in the spots from the Kawasaki decal with some weld then finish up the die grinding work an clear coat it like the frame.

Looking at the side covers, I have no idea what to do with them, especially because one cover looks new and the other looks dull. I'll post pictures of it tomorrow. But what do you guys normally do to the covers?
