Update: I repainted the rims using Appliance paint in gloss black but kept the center blue. Appliance paint is very tough stuff and looks great. I had to do some touch ups and I also painted the radiator screen the same blue. Everything has been clear coated and now its time to reassemble. I...

I thought it looked like a Diavel. I like that look. I will probably end up building a small bracket and attaching the plate at the end of my seat subframe

Looking good. More pics. I like your license plate holder. How did you make that. I may copy you for mine.
Got a bit more work done. Painted the center of the wheels the same blue as the frame. I plan to put another coat of paint on. There wont be any overspray as seen here:
I also bought some silver carbon fiber vinyl in which to wrap the tank. Here is a pic showing the color combo:

I decided to remove the motor in order to properly clean everything and paint. I will also be better able to touch up the engine with paint...
I generally like your project. Im partial to nighthawks since I own an 85 700S. The tail would look better in my opinion if the rear part matched the rear part of the tank. Also, I think it would look better if it was raised up a bit. A quick MSPaint of your bike shows a decent idea of what...
I do. Better than the aholes at caferacer.net.
I worked most of today on the bike. I was doing some spot glazing on the seat when I got a bit impatient and decided to remove the entire back half of the bike, I also removed the radiator, oil cooler, fan, some hoses and the wiring harness. This...
