    Tank painted, gloss not there?

    The issue is the high heat enamel. Why did you choose to top coat with this product? It's reserved for items which are exposed to high temps which also help it cure, also high temp paints are rarely glossy. If it was me, I'd be sanding all the enamel off and top coating with acrylic solid...

    FENDERS/ MUD GUARDS

    Haha, busted! Yeah quick polish on the manifolds and 2k clear coat becuase I'm too lazy to polish them again, same goes for the top and bottom radiator tanks. I have done the brass rod mod, but I'm not running iridium plugs, do they make that much difference? Not fussed how fast she is, if I...

    Hey all! Just joined the forum and in the midst of building my first Cafe Racer/Brat style bike. I'm not following any particular theme just doing what I like as a trial run for a bigger and better build considering this my first bike build (done plenty of cars). Regular rides are a 1098 and...
