Just some shots with the cleared peices on the bike. I am gonna get it to the upholster guy this week. I am hesitant to even wet sand these peices as aside from one run the finish is really smooth. At least on the tank. I will prob wet sand and buff the tail section and see the result before I touch the tank. Spray 2k rocks.

Thanks rocketman. Yeah that spray 2k stuff comes out like liquid glass. It is so forgiving I have never worked with anything like it when it comes to paint. I am hesitant to even wetsand as it looks good just like it is now. The seat has a couple spots that are semi rough So i will wetsand and buff the seat cowl prior to upholstry but the tank will likely just stay as is.

Lookin' good!

Also... if you get the chance, it looks like you have room to cut a couple of inches from the end of the clubmans.  It'll help narrow things up for a more aggressive look and make steering a bit more responsive.

Yeah those dcc bar end mirrors don't help either they added about an inch to the end of the bars on both sides. I like having 2 mirrors i know some go with one but i think it's safer with 2 and looks more symetrical.

When riding from Pittsburgh to Mid-Ohio on the 400F, I only had one of the bar end mirrors. I wished I had two the entire trip.

Ya man! Chop those bad boys down!!  :o :D 

I prefer my bars narrowed as much as possible.  8)  You loose a little  steering leverage, but with a small to mid size bike it's no biggie.  :)

Looks good though ax-man!  8)

Took the seat in for upholtry today and the guy did it today!!!. I think they did an awsome job. Cost me 100 bucks i thought that was fair. for the detail i requested. GLad i didn't attempt this part myself as i just don't have the tools or skills for that one. Went with a straight black vinyl as i couldn't swing the brown leather and the brown vinyl i thought looked cheap. I am really pleased with outcome.

well got the damn pos running somewhat. It is again doing this crazy crap where it fires up runs 2 min on only the left cylinder right sounds like it's trying and i put the right plug on the wire while the left was running the show. sparking like a motherfucker. so that's not the problem. I've reset the timing twice now. I have had the carbs off prob 10 x i thought maybe it was an issue with the float arm but that seems to be to spec. these fucking carbs are brand new. I changed the jetting a bit. Now have 30 pilots in and 145 mains. choke does absolutely nothing and the thing will die right away if i choke it. Makes me think I am flooding the motor but the plugs aren't wet. WHy else would it work when i let it sit for about 20 min. I think about fuel starvation but I can't see why fuel is flowing free to the bowls I will try to tear down the fucking carbs again and clean out brand new carbs. IDK maybe it's the ignition shorting to the motor somewhere. Crap oh crappy. Compression is 175 on both cylinders. TOmorrow i will adjust the valves. rewire the ignition, buy new plugs, and clean/ dissemble/ressemble the carbs. VM 30s btw. Damn i need help..... any suggestions out there>>
