          My progress so far. I will replace fuel line with black line soon and install black filters as well.

              I still have lots to do. Fairing, tank, side covers and cowl still need to be painted. Im thinking a red. Also need to pull of the wheels and re do them as well as the calipers and brackets. Over the winter I will have the seat re upholstered. Too hot to do anything today. I died last week in the heat doing the engine. I did install a V Max CC Tensioner monday. So far so good and having fun.
