i plasti-dip sprayed the strap on the battery box cover, and the round piece (not sure what you call it) on the left hand bottom of the motor.  however, i rushed the reinstall of the latter, and it wasn't totally dry, so when the bolts hit the plasti-dip, they grabbed it and now it's all twisted and peely looking.  redo tonight.  also i did my mirrors, and they are hanging from my porch ceiling drying thoroughly.

My bike was on #2 on the shocks when I bought it.  The ride home was a little jarring, so my husband put the shocks on #1 and it feels fine now.

Looks nice!! My next piece is probably the fender rack and a flyscreen http://shop.nationalcycle.com/perl/cycle/large_photo?mv_session_id=5svisVa5&mv_arg=N2531&search_model=hr-086

I like that Flyscreen. A bit too small for me here in the desert, but for most places it would be just fine. 8)

All the silver is now black, I don't have a pic yet as the air box is taking me a bit longer. My search now is for a cool brass gas cap.

Painted and installed TMS 1" Z Drag Bars. They look sick and easy to install.
