Well tonight when I got home from school there was my bolt kit, and motor mounts waiting for me on the porch. The bolt kit is nice, all allen heads, and it will help me alot when it comes time to bolt stuff up because it's a frame up build. But enough of my talkin here some pics.

O trust me thats just temporary. Next week, ether monday or tuesday everything is comming back apart. The I need to drain the oil in the motor, paint the cases, pull the side cases and polish them better, paint the motor mounts gold, and I have had the motor going on 2 1/2 months, and it still needs to be started.

I'm painting the cases because I can. It may look pritty good but I want it to look great. It's the little things like that, that will set my machine apart, and give it that quality look I want. I don't have a glass beeder, I'm gonna sand the paint off or as much as I can then spary on a nice apoxy primer and then color and clear. The frame is painted. I got the paint free from my auto body class, vs. 350 for powder coat. I did the best job I could with the paint, and it should hold up decently. Of course not as good as powdercoat, but you can't beat free, and it is the exact color I was looking for.
