The chrome head covers'll stay for now... I want it to look at least a little finished.
My back would get wet if I was a rain rider. I finally have a cage after many years of not owning one, and I am more than happy to drive it when it's wet out.
There is no air filter right now.
It is sort of legal. The only things that fail MO state inspection are my lack of muffler and lack of license plate light. Sometimes we do things the good ol' boy way out here, and that involves a lickit and stickit inspection.
The paint IS gonna get stripped off the tank. When I get my tax return, we are gonna grind down the tank and airbrush in some rust spots. It's gonna stay that natural steel color. They just started making a transparent self-etch primer, about 1oo bucks an ounce. It'll get clearcoated after that, and look pretty mean, I think.
Oh well
