Ha, I wish, almost though. Good timing on your question though, I was hoping to do a final installment to this build log this weekend . I just clear coated all the painted body parts this past Sunday using SprayMax 2K urethane I ordered form this site http://www.repaintsupply.com/aerosols/clear-coats/spraymax-2-part-2k-urethane... pretty good price, most places on Amazon wanted twice that for this stuff. Man did it work well, sprays nice and goes on almost like a paint gun. I used a friends paint booth and PPE to spray as I am told this 2K is quite poisonous.

I'm in the shop now buffing it out. I'll put it all back together in the next couple of days, I have the bar end mirrors and the new front turn signals installed. I'll have a post this weekend with finished photos and a couple of details on some other mods I did recently, oh yea, will have a nearly new front drive pulley coming from one of members (thanks Chris) soon as well.

When the clear is on and buffed out it really makes the bike seem less like a project in process....and a finished motorcycle. Good luck on the weekend completion...pretty exciting! Dave

Well, the bike is pretty much done. Only thing left is some carb tweaking, I think it is running a little lean. And I purchased a nearly new front drive pulley from a member here, thanks Chris! I expect that to arrive tomorrow.

To bring you up to date, I mentioned previously that I wanted to change how the side panels were attached. Taking some advice from a member here I used locktite to attache some studs where the thumb screws would go and machined some of my own thumb "nuts".

Another item I wanted to change was the rubber rivet nuts in the seat assembly. Again I machined some alternatives and epoxied them into the seat shell.

Both of these solutions worked out very well.

Here are sme photos and a little movie of the finished bike. I need a better camera, the photos don't show how nice and shiny it is

Thanks all for the support, advice and interest.
Gerry
