Just taking a break from working on the wife's Multi, as a Christmas present. She has had the bike a year, now we are "jazzing it up".  I painted her Belt Covers a nice metallic gold yesterday and her exhaust are an anodized wrinkled purple. Today I'm putting on metallic gold exhaust rings. No PICS yet, not finished with the job. I'll try to post a PIC or two when I'm done. Biker |

I will post pics, or a link to pics as soon as we are done. I didn't get the exhaust rings done today, and I'm waiting on the lights. When it's done I will do some pics.

Nice present, BikerRN. I'm sure she'll love whatever you do. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics.
Happy Holidays,
Joe

OK, exhaust is done, but the lights won't be on until after Christmas. I'm wrapping them and putting them under the tree. I'm going to take the camera out to the garage and try to take some photos and post them. Wish me luck, I suck at posting PICS.

I got your pics, Biker. I put them up on my photobucket account. Certainly a unique look - I hope she likes it!    |

Thank you for posting those for me.
I'm adding lights, (purple) and a purple visor to complete the deal. I've already covered the belt covers in gold, and I might also do the bottom portion of the fairing in gold too.
She gets to pick all the colors, and then turns me loose. I can do some things, but I'm a technophobe in the truest sense of the word.
Thank you again and I hope you have a great New Year with many trouble-free miles.

OK, got the lights on and wired today. It really highlights the engine in a nice purple aura. Next week I will probably paint the lower portion of the fairings in gold and I'll order her a purple windscreen. I'm also going to do her alternator cover in gold. Just a little gold to offset the purple. Besides this job we also changed out the front sprocket on a friend's Multi. I love the 14 tooth Front Sprocket, and I think he will too. I'll change out the sprocket on my wife's bike in a week or two as well. Pictures will be coming, just busy right now. Biker |
