I painted subtle stripes on either side of the tank where the Honda emblems are. They turned out nice and with the tank back on the frame you can get a feel for what the finished bike will look like.

Time to get this tank looking like the cherry on top that it is. I used some paint stripper on this deal which was super messy and smelled horrible. I got the rest off with good old fashioned sand paper I still have half of it to go and then I can add some clear coat and a graphic. I painted the underside with some flat black to protect from rust. Looking good so far...

I've got a few more parts finished including the rear foot peg brackets and the chain guard. So I slapped the swing arm back on to see how it is shaping up so far. I have decided to get some new shocks for the rear as the chrome on the springs is pretty well effed. Surprisingly, new rear shocks are pretty reasonable. So, rather than spending the time and effort to rebuild these old ones, I'll just get some new ones when the time is right...my butt will thank me later.
