Looks great. Is the base green the Alsa Crazer? It looks like the flames are chameleon, what did you use? Is it over a silver metallic or was the metallic in the paint?

Actually no, I just looked at some of their stuff, and I think I'll use some of it on the wife's bike next year. They do make some really awesome paint now days.

Got the frame back on the table, and the swing arm on. Was going to put the front end back on but the neck bearings were kind of iffy. So I think I'll go ahead and change them out.
Engine is painted and the edges of the fins are polished out. Fixin to change out the rocker boxes and compression releases.. Compliments of Wild Steed Worxs.
Clear on the paint is coming along good. Hopefully I will only have to sand it out two more times.
Here's a good shot of my Angel. I'm thinking I'm going to have to name her. What do you think?



Pablo< I hope her knees, suit you a little better.

Got the tanks and fenders sanded down again, and ready for another coat of clear tomorrow. Got the front end on and torqued, with fresh fork oil.

I can't take the blame for all that coffee. I've got the word out, "bring me your empty coffee cans." Each one is labeled, like rear swing arm, front forks, primary, and so forth. That way I can keep my bolts separated.

Got another coat of clear on today, and wired up the front end. Head light , signals, driving lights. Engine mount is on and the rear splash guard.

I wanted to work on the engine tonight, but I have to get up early tomorrow and go to St. Louis. Please don't excommunicate me for what I'm about to say.
I can't work on my bike this weekend, because I have to take my wife to see an opera. I should be ok come Monday.

Ok, I'm back to myself again. Got the tanks and fenders sanded down again, and ready for more clear tomorrow.
This might interest some of you.
Louder horns.
First remember I've no EHC, I'm hard wired. So before you do this, ask those who know, if this will hook up to your original wiring.

When I was up at St. Louis, I stopped by Harbor Freight and found they had Bad Boy all in one air horns on sale for $40. I thought what the heck, I will find something to put it on. Well with a little squeezing and a little cussing I got it in there. Just had to space out the bottom of the splash plate 1/2''.
This will wake up those dam texter now.:eek:

Changed out the rocker boxes tonight. Had some striped out bolts. Also did the compression releases. The front one was the only one that worked, and it would stick sometimes. Found out way the other one wasn't working.

Someone gave me some tail lights, that look like dog lights, but they have a 1157 bulb in there instead of an LED board. The Kaptin had red lens that fit, so I decided to go with these. I thought I had some spacers that would work, but they were to small, and the wrong angle.
Got to work today and scratched my head for a few minutes, found some 3/4'' x 1'' brass bar stock, and 45 minutes later, WA LA.

Engine and transmission are ready to go in. I'll do that Saturday. I guess I'll sand some more tomorrow to see if I need any more clear or not.
