Nice work 

thanks guys.  tomorrow will be the easy one to do.  then its time to strip off the front end in prep for the new forks that should be here any day.

Wish I could work that fast, hell I've been working on a bracket for the windscreen I'm adding for almost 2 complete weeks!

Thanks,

Nick

Good work! 

One question, what grit sandpaper are you finishing with before paint?  Looks like you may need to go finer to make the finish a bit smoother.  Are you going to color sand and then clear?

right now just to get the bike on the road im sanding with 220 then painting next winter baring any big booboos by the wife ill sand everything and have it painted by my buddy its just a rattle can job to get it all fixed and on the road for her to ride this year.  Yeah not the best finish but im betting they have to be fixed again by the end of the year.

WOW, That's just cold.
I hope she don't read that 

lol..its ok i told her i said it.

if you wanted better quality paint than what you get in a rattle can, then go to a automotive paint supplier and they can for a few additional $ can put automotive pant in rattle cans. -- Jim

she loves how it looks so far and for rattle can it doesnt look to bad.  and like i said right now its warm out so its a fix everything so it doesnt break more and get a coat of paint on it so she can ride asap.....lol
on a side note my tires are getting mounted tomorrow.

Tires for the GS?  I gotta get a rear for mine!  The weather is great for riding here!

Yes tires for the gs should be mounted today.  Not goin to be able to do much work on wifes bike today since it looks and feels like rain.  Good day to get a few little things done on my bike.

UPDATE: i did get the tires mounted up on the gs oh wrong thread.  lol...I found and ordered upper left and right fairings and the right lower side cover for the bike today they get shipped out from florida in the morning.  Looking forward to geting these parts as well as all the others i ordered for the bike.  that completes all the plastic for this bike so fixing the little peices that need fixing and paint them all up. 

Congrats 

UPDATE: The wife and I stripped the front off her bike tonight in prep for the parts coming tomorrow on the UPS truck.  The front wheel was a chore.  In-board brakes were a new one for me.  But that was the hardest part of stripping it all off.  So here are some pics of what we did tonight and ill post up more when i put the forks and front end back together.

Wow!  Lots of fuses.  Like one per turn signal or something.

lol. yeah i havent done any reading in the shop manual about all the fuses yet but im going to have to there are alot of them.

Ok so i was bored tonight so i did a little test fit of parts to see how its going to look and im thinking its going to be a sweet little bike heres a little taste of how it will look when its finished. What do you guys think?

Looking really awesome.  Sheesh, you're fast. Wish I could find the time!

That is gonna look pretty slick, keep it up.

UPDATE:  its cold and crappy in michigan again.  so i cant do any more fiberglassing or painting right now.  No parts have came in the mail either so im at a stand still at the moment. No parts = no work. I called the guy i ordered my fairing parts from and he forgot to send them out until i called him so they are going out today.  Hopefully they will be here first of next week and i can start preping them for paint.
