<br /><br />when i bought this bike it was rougher than a night in jail. one piston was holed, and the other one stuck tightly to the cyl walls because the already aftermarket exhaust had rotted off and allowed moisture back into the chambers. the original color was blue and someone had rattle can sprayed it black. by the time i got it, there wasn't a lot of black left, the paint stripper took it right off.<br /><br />sandblasted the frame parts and took it to the cheapest painter i could find. this is not going to the races or to the shows, it is a '10footer'. as long as i can keep you at least 10 feet away, it will look pretty decent.<br /><br />the red is GM "Torch Red", the silver is actually a Hyundia color.<br /><br />any pieces that look bent, wrinkled, out of place, runny paint, ect.<br /><br />they are.<br /><br />the pieces that look overly shiny to the point of a glare. that is transmission fluid. <br /><br />see, all the people that tell you smuggly to just do things in reverse order when you re-assemble a bike give me the feeling of someone ripping out my fingernails.<br /><br />for anyone else that might not know, assemble the triple trees and forks first, remove the top bolts again then install the new fork fluid. if you fill a fork with fluid before it is mounted on the bike, you will have no chance of getting it up thru the brackets <br />and in position to bolt on before the tube has come down and you have fluid all over everything.<br /><br />trust me, i know.

<br /><br />yeah, at 6'4" i crouch behind the bikes to make them look larger than they are.<br />
