Now to mount my tail light.
 
Gonna spend the day getting everything except the body work and the engine ready for paint.
The hard part is going to be deciding what to paint this stuff with.
Powder, nice rattle can roll cage paint, acrylic enamel or, base clear?
 
I have had good luck with Rustoleum spray bomb for chassis parts..... except the frame, which I like enamel best.
 
Thanks.
I got everything minus rims and hubs(they are soaking) ready for, probably, powdercoat.
Rims, hubs, inner fender,frame, clamps, fork legs and, some brackets will be black. The fender, gas cap, chain guard, brake linkage and, chain tensioner will be chrome.
This plan will probably change.
My mess:

I am painting everything myself.
I figured what better thing to do while polishing parts then..... let paint dry. I have six hours of sanding in, haven't touched the motor and just on the first brake down.
 
Gonna order rear sets and clip ons.
So many options!!
What do you guys prefer and for what reason?
Thanks in advance.
 
I have been through several sets on my RD. First the fast from the past set. Didn't work.. ultimately gave them away. I now have the Vintage Smoke Set. Nick is an awesome guy and very helpful. they are the best set out there by far. Here is the link

Those are nice and there only 52 dollars shy of 500 bucks ::)
I always buy used gsxr or fzr rear sets off ebay and make brackets and linkage
 
Still sanding my fingers raw..

I was thinking about a dark green with a lighter green for numbers on the tail but, that dark brown is growing on me.. ???
 
Any suggestions on paint ? I am torn between my initial plan of dark metallic green with a light green for some numbers and the brown on the side cover.
Going to the paint store tomorrow.

I think your initial plan of colors would be a blast. 8)
Or maybe dark purple metallic with bronze or brown sidepanels.
 
Who is the preferred rd parts source?
Kinda at a stand still till some parts start showing up.
