Painted

Finally, the bike is done. I am giving it a couple of days to cure before I really start riding it, but I have to say, it looks pretty awesome. The dents in the tank, while not 100% invisible, are definitely better than that mutilated mess that was on there. I was going to paint it just glossy black, but decided to go with the two-tone again. It looks sharp. I am going to get in the habit of not overfilling the tank, bringing a rag with me just in case, and being extra careful at the pump.

Now, the bike is 99% complete. I just need to get the horns working and give it a good going over with a cleaning rag, wax the tank about 10 more times, and shine it up. I have an issue with the tank sticking to the seat where the 2 connect. I'm not sure what's to be done about that. I've cleaned the seat, made sure it was dry before reapplying it, and even added a thin coat of lubricant to put some sort of spacing between the 2. Nothing works. Well, if the tank gets ruined again, that's it for this year. With the bike running so well (took it for a short spin again today, but the weather has been sucking big time) I don't want it off the road for that long again.

Seafoam is in the tank. I am going to buy one of those carb tuners from z1 and hook it up, although the bike seems to be running excellently. I'm going to ride it to work tomorrow...

Need to fill the tank... *gulp*
