It looks really nice. Big turtle day on the Susquehanna for us. Enjoy the boat time.

The painter called today. Everything except the tank is ready to go. The tank will be ready Tuesday. He wants to let that dry a couple more days and then affix the decals and clear over it. I'll pick the finished parts up at 0800 tomorrow!

Now I can start putting it back together! So of course it's 97° and humid as balls.

I spent the afternoon with the Harley



Reassembled the rear fender and lights.



Installed said fender



Put the inner fairing cap on just to see it. Looks weird, but with the tank on, I think it will work.


Checking it out with the seat on



The front fender was much easier to install.

It's a really weird color. It changes with the lighting. The first pic of the fender is how it really looks in person, but when you shine a light on it, it gets brighter. Reminds me of a shark

It looks like the accent color on my softtail mtn bike, white with that blue on the chain stays and decals.

Yes it does. The actual color is a Nissan under hood color for the 2005 Altima. Didn't have a name, just B16 or something

Is that how you picked it out, popping the hood on a trade-in?

I think he picked it out by recognizing it as the closest thing to Dallas Cowboys blue.

actually, no. I took the backrest to the painter. They have books and books of paint chips that have holes punched through them. I laid the chip over the blue part of the leather and it was damn close. Just a coincidence that it was in the Nissan section of the book. I must have gone through 5 books before I found that color without metal flake in it.

That WAS the original plan, but Bruce talked sense to me. Eagles fans would vandalize it if I put a blue star on it.

The color is pretty close to me Emmit Smith Throwback Jersey, though. I'll have to wear that when I ride it a lot.
