LOL Josh!  I might not notice for a week!  I dunno about bedliner black.. probably too rough... BBQ black instead maybe?  You know, BBQ black, like you'd paint a gas grill?

I wonder how much he paid for this purple 93... from the photos it looks pretty cherry to me.  I find that surprising.  I mean, in Florida there's so much good riding weather.  I'd have 60,000 miles at least in that time and I'm up North!  Matter of fact it was 50 and sunny today so I put on about 70 miles.  Went cruising all over then went downtown to the St. Patrick's Day parade, then went cruising all over some more.  Ended-up at a friend's (the one with the Harley) and just got home.  Now that's how I like to spend a Sunday!  :thumb:

well, this is my last bike for some time since my fiance is making me sell it as soon as she gets pregnant which I hope is a few years off.  I don't plan on changing it once I've got it painted and ready to go.  I'm going to start the airing out process tonight and start sanding it on Tuesday.  This is the process I'm following - http://www.thegsresources.com/garage/gs_repaint.htm

I've applied a couple of coats of the Rustoleum Truck Bed liner and it looks awesome.  It's a little shinier than I wanted, but I think it's just because the stuff is still wet.  The texture looks really cool I think.  I'll put up some more pics tomorrow once it's all dry.

I also installed the National Cycle F-18 flyscreen I got a few months ago and am almost done with the tank.  I should have everything done by Monday if not sooner.  Here's a pic from the front with the new flyscreen.
