It's not stapled down yet.

Thanx 4 the compliment. I just reinstalled the rear. I'll finish up the fronts and refill and bleed 2morrow when I complete paint prep. Oh... I introduce. "The Rose"

Line and caliper pics tomorrow, lead by more sanding

Sprockets arrived.

I'm using a full service body shop, my cousin is the owner/operator and has done many custom jobs and bodywork in this area. Gorgeous work, he's been my guide. I hit the damaged plastics w/ the DA grinder, followed by 80gr. Fiberglassed the front turn signal portions (one side had a giant hole that looked like someone attempted to repair as well as other road rash on other places), Applied bondo, then mud. Re-80gr the fairing repair to level. Then scuffed all the plastics w/ 180 using the DA sander and used a red scotchbrite on the corners & any other remaining shiny areas, then primer. Next I'll either scuff the primer w/ 320 and apply sealant, and scuff again, or seal the primer and then scuff (whichever he says), but color application will follow, then clear, then another sanding and finish with painting the stencils, clearing them, sanding them, and then applying texture. ACTUALLY THE SEALANT IS OUT OF ORDER IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS. All in all it adds up to tedious. Takes patience, hurry up and wait, lots of sanding pads, lots of elbow grease (even using DA's, and especially the scotchbrite), but it's not AS bad as it sounds. Requires attention and time for expected results. 4 colors = lots of paint for a small job, 1 quart urethane clear, 1 quart textured clear, + all hardners, fiberglass, catalyst, thinners, bondo, & mud or duraglass

Red paint on the O, soft feel paint (velvet texture, matte finish) on the leaf(ves). Final decals for tail and opposing side are not set, but tail will be paint, some lower decals will be vinyl.

Mine: http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=84175 I'm not really sure about cost, I can get an estimate. My stencils are discounted and my labor is free, so I only buy paint and sanding discs. I won't be back out to the shop until maybe tomorrow and he can tell me about how much something like that may run, but it's gonna be HIS estimate, not necessarily what you may encounter exactly (+/-) Another way to save some dough is to look into getting the emblem in decal form. I'm sure any graphics, sign, emblem, banner store/service can copy the image and replace the colors or even someone on here. If you're decent with photo editing you could make it all yourself and they'd print the graphics fairly cheap in comparison to custom paint. Find a digital copy of the emblem and match the emblem size (measure length) on the bike. Then you'll have a near factory replica decal in your colors. Technically this can be done with pinstriping also, measure the areas that need application, find digital pinstriping (or make) adjust width, length, color, and which sections, then stick on. Complete. 2 matching for tank, one for each fender...different lengths and widths.

I've been redesigning my '03 6RR for the past two months now. Completion is coming to a close and I must say that I am anxious, to say the least. My first complete DIY on a single project. Everything, but the tire change has been done by me, bodywork (a 1st), etc. Complete parts summary will be included at finish. This bike build actually came about between a Michigan fan in my family and my own ambition to produce a project. So I'll be ready before OSU vs M. Now off to the pics The Beginning The Photoshop 45min after the Photoshop Last week This week

You can get the factory Harley Emblem re-stenciled in pink/white/silver/"graphite or black" (I'd choose only 3, but anywhere from 2 to 4 colors) and add some pinstriping w/ whatever matches the emblem colors, I wouldn't do 4, I think 2 would be ideal for the striping. You could have the striping along the tank sides and fender tops. Just my instant thought. My bike is in the booth right now.

Bigger pics would help... I can't see it enough to think of anything. But as another piece of advice, you could ask her what she wants. Women love to chose.

Thanx everyone, I expect to contribute as much as I can. Paint, grips, seat cover, custom supersprox, x-chain, cowl, signaled mirrors, brake lines, calipers, tires, custom art, shaved signals, HID... it's almost done! Just a redesign. Primer laid, sealant today. Awaiting soft feel paint (textured matte) to finish the plastics. This is my first complete solo DIY, so far it's going great. I surprised myself on the bodywork. Kinda sux, because I've missed some riding time over the past couple months, but it's worth it. Nothing like a thought brought to life. OSU fans prepare to
