    Looks awesome already, Spiros (@fiveten). I have never built a motorcycle before, but I have one coming in the mail that I will use for this group.

    Glad to see you are moving this one right along.

    The thing I like about building bikes is that practically every mechanical detail can still be shown off once the kit is complete. What seems like a bunch of random parts turns into a beautiful form... it sounds like you are feeling the same way! I pulled my Katana out last night and caught the bug to finish her, I think.. 🙂 so thanks!

    "Silver" applied...

    Also directly applied onto the chromed forks and looks good! Thanks for the tip, my friend @chinesegeorge!
