That's one of the most important things about a fighter, the pics should always show only parts of them, for example, the front should never be seen. Sorta like when strippers take their clothes off, they always turn and take off their top and cover up their rack ... and then like get close to you and bounce them ... yea like that, only like never shown ...
Cool.

You don't want me to take pictures of this thing to close. IT looks better from about 5 feet away.

I'll be throwing on my Lockhart Phillips flush mount signals tomorrow and a guy in NE NC might be hooking me up with some parts like a Ninja triple tree and some other gooodies for it too.

Looks pretty bad man, in a good way. But I wouldn't wanna ride that thing in the rain considering how short the tail is  :dunno_white:

Thanks guys! And yeah, after riding in a light sprinkle on wet road I had a skunk stripe of mud water from the taillight to the back of my helmet...one solid line. Now I feel like an a$$hole for selling my Bandit rear hugger. I made a small inner rear fender to keep my wires in place and sold the hugger because they wouldnt clear one another. Then after I did all this, I had to lose the inner rear fender to relocate everything and now I have nothing under there at all.

Here's a timeline of the work:

any particular tips on painting the tank? that's probably going to be a project in my near future.

If you saw my tank up close you wouldn't be asking me for advice on painting one :icon_mrgreen:

I used spray paint on it for the base caot and the skull. It's 95% preparation and I'm impatient. Just remember to utilize a 50/50 overlapping when you lay down the paint. Don't stop at the end of whatever youre painting, start spraying before you get to it and stop spraying after you pass what you're painting. Oh yeah the most important rule...drink a beer between coats! :cheers:
