He stripped it and then he scuffed it with a scotchbrite pad.. I then cleared over it. The bike is a black and brushed mix..

A buddy of mine is building a cafe inspired KZ1100 his bike has really been cleaned up and gone over but he wanted a little bit of a tough look, so I suggested that he strip the tank down and let me clear coat over the bare metal. So he did.. He decided to leave it a little ratty and let me do...

I am back at it for another edition of "I saw some potential in something ugly".. I picked up this K75s a few weeks ago and have just been dreaming and staring at it and finally have a vision for it.. Cafe..of course.. The bike runs and rides very well so I will not be doing much mechanically...

I'm not sure if I am ever really done... There is always something else to do.. But It is a transformed bike from that first photo I posted. Luckily this one was mechanically sound so there was not a real need to pull the engine out.. Just frame adjustments, cosmetics, and ergo changes.

Humidity or not I am going to paint this thing tomorrow.... I've been waiting for 5 days for the weather to break and I am tired of waiting.. Dupont BLUE MOOD getting sprayed tomorrow.. This is the color..

Not sure if anyone is checking in but for posterity sake... Took another couple steps forward.. Humidity has been way too high for base and clear so I hope to get that done by Wed.. Sanded all the paintables and then primed them with building primer. Sanded them again and another 2 coats of...
