Bodywork

The current state of the bike!








Mark picked up my sidecovers for me yesterday so this morning I could start working on them as soon as I wanted to.









The first thing to do was smooth out the dents with some more precise hammering and fine tune the fitting. After that was done I put the first coat of filler on to smooth it better.









Check out the before picture in the prevoius post





Then thanks to Rob's motorcycle jack and a pattern for a adapter made of 2x4's I no longer have to work on my hands & knees. Mark helped me to center & hold the bike to insure it won't fall off the jack.




Still have to figure how to mount permenetly - I am thinking magnets will do the trick.



A couple more thin coats of filler - ALOT of sanding between coats - a couple coats of primer sanding between - then ready for paint.
