Nice work dude. And I agree, the sharp contrast in method to GMs is funny. Yours is more like, hmmm I'll try to take this off... shit fuck break stab... now I'll try this... hmm...

GM is more of a precision artist... I am more of a hack it fuck it kinda guy..

Maby you'll get smart and just trash the buell and buy a real bike.

Why don't you relax on the fucking wiseguy comments in every thread. I've heard enough. You trashing everyone's ride is getting pretty fucking old.

More progress today... :panic:

Started small with the levers... One broke off when the bike fell over the first week I had the fucker. The other was completely lost in my crash, but replaced with a bent one that Loud_and_Low from :twf: gave me. (speaking of which, somebody PM him)

The clutch lever was pretty gnarley, so I rounded it out with the dremel... It provides three fingers worth of pull, which is real nice with the dry clutch in traffic.

I eyeballed the front brake lever and went to town with the dremel... It should be right for two finger pull, but before I get them powder coated, I'm going to fit it and see... more might need to come off... or it's too short and I buy Pazzos (fuck it).

Both levers completed...

At that point I unhooked all my electronics and removed/dismantled the subframe... I didn't get any pictures of the process, but it was very straightforward and boring... However, I did find a bunch of rocks and shit from Rt 56 in Hocking Hills Ohio where I crashed...

Feeling inspired and armed with my new heat gun, I went to town on the puck I started the other day... It took a full hour to get it off and I didn't even bother taking any pictures during cause I was discouraged by the fact that I still have another to go (some other day :D)...

At some point in time between beers, I pulled the foot controls off... I didn't get any pictures of that cause I was half drunk.

I stopped drinking at that point and started sanding... First starting with the section that was rashed up...

Everything ready for primer...

Working in my small confined garage with zero ventilation using liquid sander and a bunch of primer, I didn't get any pictures of that shit either... The beer had sorta worn off, then Jesus morphed through my garage door and offerend me a Fruit Roll-up. When I declined he told me that I had stopped painting 20 minutes ago and should go into the house. So I did.

Yeah, I'm still figuring out the macro mode on my new camera... some pictures come out well, others... not so much.
