New paint sure shines in the vid. 
Those new tires look good under the fenders. Wonder what the previous owner had for tires to wear tennis ball sized holes through the plastic?
Great repairs - good examples and repair experience fixing them up, and keeping salvageable parts out of the dumpster.

well, i put the rear fender on hold for a little while. i figured the fender and muffler will be the last two things i work on anyway. dan stopped by here yesterday and dropped off a present for me. gatta have fresh new stickers. not bad lookin stickers. have the last panel coming in the mail to complete the bike. the black engine cover. little pricey....but worth it.

Are we doing the same things at the same time ? Every time I check out your posts Its weird but it's like I'm looking at my bike .
I have to tell you the flat black fenders look pretty good in Flat I am not crazy about the stock Gyro fender decals and with your fender flat black some sort of high tec design for a decal might be kinda cool . (just a thought ).
I would really like to get some decals from Dan mostly the HONDA logos in white (2 side frame /1 rear above tail light & 1 front fork cover )
I had some time and did some mods to my red gyro muffler today ( I also did it on my black )

Them stickers, plastics repair and paint + the engine cover. Looking sharp all around. Fasteners look like new. What are you doing? Re-plate? New? Goes well with the rest of the 100% cosmetics.$50 is a deal for an engine cover.
