I think I am ready for paint. I added a few things, but I think I am done for now.

1. Changed the tank to the black tank with the chrome cap.

2. Added the NR Racing exhaust.

3. Put on my diamond plate.

4. Molded myself a scoop.

5. Most importantly, welded on a bottle opener.

6. Added the sport bike mirrors. I hate not knowing if someone is coming up on me.

I found these chrome Craftsman openers at Sears for $14. They look like wrenches when you get them, but I cut the handle off and welded it on. Perfect.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

I don't know if I should go with black or red? Any suggestions? :dizzy:

Black would look killer with those wings all polished up. Add accent of red and a great ride Chris. Did youi make the wings yourself?

Damn hockey game. In between OT periods, so I figures I would see what I could see in here. The first thing I did was to make a skeleton out of wire. I bent it up to have the general shape I was looking for. Then I started laying it up with fiberglass matting. I have some pictures I took as I went along. If you are intrested, I'll post a few of them to show how it came to be.

Regards;
