Wow that is one beautiful clean looking bike.

I see him over on https://www.vintagehondatwins.com/ every now and then.

Don't enjoy it too much or your project will end up like mine :p Just kidding of course, its great to be able to take your time with it, I hate rushing through things.

Congrats!

Thanks!

Would that side filler allow you to get all the air out of the system? Not sure how you'd be able to fill it like that and get all the air out. Maybe I'm overthinking it?

Congrats Trek, very worthy champion. Up against a couple of great bikes too, I had a hard time deciding.

Well done, sounds like its running really good.

That's exactly how I did the paint on my MB5. I used some vinyl tape for the stripes and picked up vinyl Honda decals to mask off the name. Painted the gold first and let it fully dry a few days. Masked off and sprayed the black. Removed the vinyl and then cleared with SprayMax 2K. First coat of...

Very nice!
