I painted the crash bars for now since the chrome was bad and I am
running out of time and money to have it and other items rechromed.
I will still add the original stripes and lettering to the toolbox and
side covers. Instead of decals I will paint them on and re-clear. This
will be a Winter project as well. I will post some more pictures of the
bike including the tank soon.
Greg, I will make sure that I balance the grime/shine ratio carefully!
Thanks Ray for the compliment!
Gunnar

Hey Gunnar, it's looking good! Too much polish and not enough road grime is a bad combination - a careful balance must be maintained ;> Did you use anything fancy for the paint on the crash bars? Also, are you adding anything to the side covers or toolboxes? I'd like to see some photos of the tank from different perspectives to get a better feel for how the artwork you added appears.
