OK, this question is for OSP and Mule.
What do you use for stands, as there is no place for spools on the Buell swingarm??

A couple straps and a cheapass jack from Harbor Freight kinda like this:

Way to start a project :?:
:lol:

I got a set of Progrip 724s for my Ninja. Thought they were shit when I first got the box- really thin and mushy feeling. When I got the stockers off, the PGs are softer, but on the bars they feel ok. Still considering putting the stockers back on since the PGs have a very soft flange next to the electronics pods/perches. The grips were easy to get off- just use a smallish flathead to break the glue, then shove an air nozzle in there. Balloon up and slip right off. Dish soap to go back on!

You could use normal swingarm stands (without spools)

Projects.. got to love em....

Good work so far... but buckle your seat if you can't limit yourself... trust me I know.

Buckle my seat?

just saying... the projects can take on a life of their own... next thing you know... you got the thing in so many pieces you lost count.

It shouldn't be too bad... I probably won't have much of a chance to work on it until next weekend... By that time I should have my new bars and shit in... I'll probably paint in phases, starting with the shit I already have taken off...

From there it's subframe time... I am NOT looking forward to taking that bitch off... That will be one wave all in itself, removal and paint prep, then finally painting...

Then before I put that back on, I'll work on painting the swingarm and frame...

At some point in time I'll have to rotate the engine down and put on the header wrap...

What is this paint stuff? Why not powder?

I will be doing some of that too... I will be colormatching with the frame color, hence painting...
