Naked Bike

Sunday - My Birthday - Mark helped me remove the gas tank and the final body panel off - the inner rear fender. I now have a naked bike. We also removed the decals from the gastank & saddlebag, not sure if the one on the gastank is going back on yet the final paint job will be the deciding factor.

I have alot of sanding & painting in my future! Mark is going to help me wire it for lights on Sunday.

Not getting much done


I was all gung ho at the beginning of the week to get a little something done on the bike every night that only lasted the Monday - when I got the front fender off the bike she is really starting to look naked but once the gas tank comes off then it will be really naked.
My Kangaroo leather and my deer leather lace arrived today so I can redo my seats, back rests and make a tank bib.
One thing I am really pleased about is the job that the Plastics place did repairing my saddlebag and it was only $67.
I will just have to smooth a few spots with filler, sand lightly, prime & paint.

Time to get back at her tomorrow after I finish up a sewing job I have been procastinating about.
