Here's where I'm at now....I was going to invest lots of resources into this project, but I was laid off so now I'm on a budget of 0 dollars, and lost access to the machine shop.
About the paint. My lovely wife is anti motorcycle so to ease her mind I decided I should paint it Chevy orange to increase visibility, and when she seen it she did smile so it worked. I think I'm going to run a silver stripe to seperate the black and orange. I still have to paint the rear cowl, make the seat, and I'm still debating on a sheetmetal bikini fairing. Once I get it on the road it's going to my Fathers mfg. plant where I can do a custom exhaust for it since it's open headers right now it's kinda hard to tune. I'm thinking of dual turbopacks underneath the engine and then an x pipe where the center stand used to be.
