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!

Hey Gunnar, it's looking good! Too much polish and not enough road grime

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.

Finally got my Eldo on the road.
There is more to do like polishing and chroming, but that is a task for
the Winter month.
