well made out a check list i can follow so i can try and get this sucker on the road again this weekend...
yesterday got the engine cases back on... fork lowers assembled (have not added fluids yet i am still back and forth on if i want to run 20w or 15w... so i think i may run a 50/50 blend in the forks.
well paint is now 75% done... god i can not belive how much paint work is going into this bike! Granted i am painting EVERYTHING, even the frame plugs, but man... well last night i got everything i am shooting at least in primer... got a base coat on the 2 last pieces that i have to do air brush work on... hit the shield so i can airbrush that and the rear fairing cover... so all i have to airbrush is the tank indents, the shield, back cap on tail piece, side covers, and 2 frame caps.... from there just clear it all... the rest of the plastics you see in white primer will get a base coat of satin black, 2 coats of reflective clear, and 2 coats of satin clear... i do not watn to run reflectors on the build at all but still i ride it daily and need to be seen, dont want to vanish on a black bike, this is a cool little trick that will vanish in the day and bling at night...
here are some pics... yes still with the crap cell hahaha
between coats i got the cases on (still need to put on the valve cover)

did not get many pics from last night but got all the randon plastics hit in the base coat, reflective clear, and satin clear, wheel bearings in, fork oil {blend 15w(75%) and 20w (25%)} we will see how that runs... got the guages assembled and all soldered in again.
also my bro and i buttoned up his little house hopper we tossed together these past few months
