Damn that Orange is sick! Sooooooooo nice!
took some of the orange LED's that i am going to use to light this whole scoot up and popped those across the orange powder, man it really brings out the gold flake! should look sick at night
here is my buddies rocket that we lit up blue... this is something like what i am going for but a bit more subtle
more like this one we did

Good quality work takes time man, you know that! You will be happier with what this turns into, rather than what it would have been if you rushed it! It really is going to be an awesome build!
very true.... von that is subtle for the led kits i do... usually people want their stuff to bling like no other! on the fighter i just want it to accent parts...
my mission for tonight is to figure out what to do on the FN tail light i have taken a stab at it 4 times now... now i neeeeeed to figure it out so i can paint the rest of the bike!

Damn, your going to have to drop the engine again! Why didn't you wait until you got it built before putting it back in the frame? Thats a ton of work to do 2 times or more!
ha ha ha no man no... i got a new valve cover gasket, crank case gasket, and starter clutch gasket, all the cases bud. I did not crack the cases on this one, just set the valves, while it was out... then put it in, i can get to all the covers easy enough with the motor in

Thats good to hear, I was like this build is going to take a lot longer than I thought, when I was under the impression you were rebuilding!
I am ready to see this thing ripping up some pavement!

man i know it may not seem like much but i have been working and trying to figure out the rear section and the tail light on this bike forever, after some sanding and cutting, bit of polishing work... got it all fingured out and mounted ready for paint!
also tossed on the front fender and mocked up the lamp and tank lid. looks pretty sweet, wish the camera did not blow balls to show how it looked

You've gotta move that headlight towards the frame more. It looks pretty bad hanging out there 
Get rid of the frame mount and clamp it to the forks. If you don't have space for the gauges - ditch them and run a push-bike speedo for the time being.
Seriously, you've done a fucking awesome job on everything else on the bike - you owe it to yourself to make the front end look better

I was waiting to see it before I made a decision on the headlight peice, but I have to agree with hillsy Joe! It looks weird stuck out there, kinda like a Praying Mantis! Just out of place dude, you may want to try hillsy's approach and mount it to the forks, or consider a whole different option all together! If you don't do anything with it, it will take away from all the details you put on the bike. After people see it, they will remember how weird that headlight looked and not how cool the paint and powder looked! Just my $.02 bro, but I am glad to see it coming together!
ha ha ha i had a feeling that was going to come up. but i have to be honest. i really dig it! really dig it... a few of my buddies stopped in last night (one is a HUGE headlight hater) and they all agree that it does look pretty sick with the powdered brackets. It blends the guages in nicely and leaves me all the stock guage set up. i like it, i kind of like the praying matntis looks, actually think mantis may go on the bike somewhere! did you know that there is actually a black matis! besides if i was going to tuck in the light i would have cut the tabs off the frame before powder to keep it clean. you got to remember i need to get this bike done, i have customers bikes waiting to get in, as well as 3 other builds i have to knock out (my harley being one of them) i need to get it done. I hope that does not sound like i am cutting corners cause by no means am i, to be honest i really like the lamp out there, remember i cut it in and brought it closer to the bike by about 2.5 inches from when i started this. the whole bracket for support is powdered to match the frame, and will all be lit up with LED's once it is done, i am going to screen the lower grills and light those up as well. should look wicked 
best part is the guy that is prob going to buy it just loves it! so that is what matters. He is prob going to trade me his 08' shadow 750 spirit for the fighter once it is done, that will be the perfect bike for the wife... just means i got that one to build as well
