    Yes it is Chuck, I finished up the bodywork today and I must say, for not laying any bondo in over 20 years, it looks damn nice. It took a while, but it looks good. I am dropping it off tomorrow to have an epoxy primer put on it. I might have it back together by next weekend. YaaaaaaaHooooo. The last thing is to finish up the tail light housing/bracket and she's road ready and pic ready.:D :D :D

    Well guys, I dropped off the fender today and my buddy at the body shop said I did good on the bondo work. Not bad for not touchin a spreader in 22 years!! Anyway, he did a little touch up for me on the tail, I just couldn't get the curve to look just right. Right now its got three coats of epoxy primer on it and he will do the painting for me. (he offered because he said the pearl was multicolored, and he thought I would have a difficult time matching it) I will have the completed fender back by the weekend. YaaaaHooooo! I also picked up the materials for the tail light and have a real good idea as to what to do with that as well. I believe I'll be riding by next weekend. :D :D Of course, I leave for Vermont for 3 days next Friday so I'm hoping to get a ride in before then. (Crossing fingers and praying at the same time) We'll see what happens! Pics will be coming soon!!

    AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, probably only next week if I'm lucky TRG. All I have to do is come up with a tail light assembly. Everything else will bolt right up, and she's already full of gas, oil, etc. Just a damn light!! :cussing: :cussing:

    Ok boys, she's finally DONE!!!!!!!!!! I took her out on a road test tonight! Sorry I don't have any pics cause it was dark when I finished it up. I will post some pics tomorrow. I have to say, it rides completely different with a 240 on it now, it doesn't turn worth a ****, but it looks COOL! I have to leave for a run in the morning at 7am so I'll post some pics when I get home. Thanks for your support guys! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D :D :D :D :D

    The wait has been worth it. It's a great looking bike and you did a great job on the rear fender. Now get it in the road!!
