Nice work man, it really pays off when you do the work yourself [thumbsup]

(btw, you forgot to swirl out your plate on the last pic ;) )

that is a fantastic looking rear end. you've really done a great job with that bike. the orange looking piece of equipment with three holes... is that for heated clothing?

Thanks [thumbsup]
Nope, it's the end/bottom piece of the brake/rotor lock. It's attached on a bracket on the passenger footpeg hanger.

Nice job!  [thumbsup]

I like the fact that you added the frame plugs to clean it up a bit.

For future reference if you paint anything plastic use an adhesion promoter on it before you paint it. SEM makes a great product and it's available at your local auto body supply shop.

You may find that as the paint gets older and it is subjected to different temps and humidity that it will start to crack/chip or even start to peel off. If that happens you get to have all the fun all over again!

Great Job!!   [thumbsup]

Nice attention to details.

At first I thought you had done a chop (due to the frame plugs) and then reattached the beer tray. 

It looks professional.   [moto]

I'm thrilled and very happy to read all the nice comments. This motorcycle/riding passion is so much nicer when I have people to share it with - even if you are transatlantic strangers - sometimes it's just a good, close and including feeling I get from this forum.

That's what I meant when I wrote "prime". I used Deltron D8420. - and yeah, I don't expect it to last forever, but that's alright.

Bought it off Ducati1 (mine are white, but so thin that the red shines through - could maybe be better in another color?)

Corey,
        Chris speaks perfect english and is more than helpful and yes i think they come in pairs. He also has a very nice plug for the rear wheel if you have a SSS equiped bike. Hope this helps.
