I'm tied up tomorrow (CBC) and Thursday, but maybe Friday evening or afternoon; what's your day look like then?

I'm not sure yet, I'll have to check with the boss man. I think the front bars require a decent set of tools and knowledge, of which I have neither.

Audrey, I'll be at Mario's place/garage wednesday night helping him with his scoot. I'll have a big pack of tools with me.

If you drop by, i'm sure we might be able to help out a bit. Bruce might pop by as well if i can convince him.

Give me a call late in the afternoon (3pm-5pm) if you have time to come by in the evening and I'll get you address's and such.

So how does the chrome look? Would have been fun to help but I had a date with some 320 grit sandpaper....another 20 hrs of sanding, and one step closer to paint!

Well Angelo... The two parts we've managed to somehow actually figure out and put on look completely awesome. The rest... not so much. I think we're having another go at it tonight or Monday. guuuuuh.

I'd also like to take this moment to thank Mario, Kevin and Bruce for their help and undying patience with what should've been fairly simple, but turned out to be exceedingly confusing.

Cheers

Audrey,
One thing that I have learned over the years with working on my bikes, is that very few things work out easily. What I have also learned is that all the extra effort and frustration that goes into these projects (no matter how small) gives you a tremendous amount of statisfaction in the end.
I'm sure you will be looking the Biz when you are done..

Cheers
Angelo

Aurdey, your front chrome looked good. I noticed the bike from 1/2 block away!

Angelo, yeah for sure I know what you mean. I think we almost have it figured out, and I'm actually feeling like I'm starting to understand some of it myself a little better, so that's cool for sure.

John, Thanks so much, I agree, the fender is freakin' HAWT ^_^

Awww, I could never compete with that... that is freakin' schweet.

I will be super thrilled with my humble bits of chrome though, once it gets all figured out.

Edit: and I totally want some mirrors on my fender guard...my stars that is something else.

Now here's a guy who can't drop his bike; hell, he doesn't even need a side stand, he can just lean it up against his house.
