it's too glossy.....and not quite right yet

I guess i have no idea what I am going to do for color...i loved the blue with the red wheels....

the orange would not work with the red i dont think, and black would be too much.....I'm soooo confused! lol

well,  my new tank is painted, and I managed to reassemble it without any scratches

SV650 controls are mounted, I just have to figure out how to get the honda cables on the SV throttle, or get custom SV cables to work.

Working on figuring out the wiring, I was going to try to keep this thing pretty close to stock as far as the frame and wiring were concerned, now, i am pretty sure I will strip down the wiring harness, and chop the pass peg mounts and the stud for the stock peg on the right, as it is interfering with the rearsets


crappy cell pic attached!

soooo I cleaned up the swinger... ALL brackets removed...if I need something, i will weld it on!



I fabbed up some shock mounts to be welded on



sitting on the swingarm



fabbed up the 1 spacer needed to make the wheel centered and the chain work.



she is getting pretty close to the styling I want! (pay no attention to the nasty ass workshop/dining room)
