Thought I'd start to write a few words about my build. Actually I am building two bikes at the same time. First I bought a Yamaha XS500 really cheap and the plan is to make in to a cafe racer. Slowly gettin there. Second I found a CB750 1974, missing the rearwheel, for a nice price. My plan for the Honda is to turn it into a bratstyle bike. By now I have bought a rear wheel, painted the wheels and suspension black, fitted new tires (Firestone Champion De Luxe, unbelivable good lookin).
Next up is new silencers (black mini zooms), Bates headlight, decide whether to make a loop for the rear frame, rear lamp and a new brat style seat.
I will try to attach some pics, can't make it work from the IPhone.
 
It's annoying.. but the Photobucket app for iPhone is a good way to go... Look forward to seeing some pics!!

Did you just spray paint the rear suspension?

Will that hold up to the compression and extension of the spring or flake off?

Yes I sprayed every part. I used a primer on the first layer, then I used a semi-matt black made for wheels that is supposed to outlast stones and stuff better. So I hope that it is a bit more "soft". Dont know if it will last, just hoping it will.
 
Appliance Epoxy! It comes in a spray can and will hold up almost as well as powder. You can get it at Home Depot or Lowes
