These pictures show the progress from really ugly "Ketchup & Mustard with rust" to Rich Red & Back. It's still an old bike but it's in much better shape than we found it. I stripped this bike down to the bare frame all by myself, had the frame sandblasted & powder coated, and re-assembled the bike. I cleaned everything up as best as I could, polished all of the aluminum and what little chrome there is on the motorcycle, and painted several parts wrinkle black. (Don't ask Jill about the ruined cookie sheet or the fumes from baking the wrinkle black parts in her oven.) I found many take-off parts at the dealership that I could use which made the project much more economical. The front fender and fuel tank are from a 2000 Sportster with the rear fender painted to match. I think overall it turned out very well.
