I put quite a few hours worth of work into it. We mapped out the flames by hand using 1/16in striping tape. (NOT a stencile) Took 6 hours just for that. I work overnights so I would get out at 7 get two hours of rest then go work on my bike till 4 or 5 pm, sleep till 9 then go to work again. I live in Ventura county.

Nope. I have no Idea where they came from. They were on her when I bought her. The owner before the one I bought her from put them on. I know the stock ones have a reputation for being a lil iffy so maybe thats why.

Thanks. I appreciate it. The shocks are Magnum Proggresive Suspension shocks. I think they're series 14.

Thank you to all. I'm glad you like it. I did the motor paint myself. Took 2 hrs of masking and prep. Came out looking good though. People always ask me if I have a new motor because of that haha

+1 on eBay and bike bandit. I'm also a fan of Hondaparts-direct they have always been good on price and shipped quickly. |
