    What an amazing progress, Cricket @bikequeen
    Like always, a pity to hide all those details behind the cowlings.

    Well it’s done….would have been done Friday evening but there was a glue smear on the fuel tank. I scraped it off and masked it so the the decal wasn’t damaged and repainted it but the scraping was visible, so I smoothed it all down and repainted it again….sigh.

    So wanting to finish it on my birthday failed 🙁

    Then I started with the cowlings and one had spots of clear red on it so once again I fixed and repainted it. By then I was toast so I put it all aside and let it dry.

    Saturday we were going to my sister in laws house, som I hurried and finished it Saturday morning but there wasn’t time to shoot pics.

    There is another glue spot on one cowling but I couldn’t fix it 🙁 and I scratched one headlight lens and no way to fix it.

    I did the Honda badges on the fuel tank and they came out GREAT, put solvent on them and they flattened right out. The next morning one was messed up, dont know how it happened, i must have picked it up and touched it…tried to find decals on ebay but none to be had

    Anyway……. Here it is…I like it….something about the black that really stands out to me

    @fiveten @chinesegeorge @johnb. Thanks guys! I enjoyed and love the color, but as @chinesegeorge called them “Whoopsies” i dont think it’s good enough for the headlines This bike number 16 in just about or a bit over 2 years …. I guess I need to get a life :). My husband brought me a 3D printer for my bday and now I have ot find a place to put it in this tiny house. 600 square feet of livable space with 2 dogs a parrot and husband….it’s a bit crowded 🙂

    Your Honda Fireblade is more than good enough to go in the Headlines, Cricket @bikequeen.
