Phase I - This is the bike as delivered after sitting for years. The bike was not running, missing hardware for the fairing mounts, the key hole for the gas tank was jacked up, dirty as hell, carbs were torn apart and laying under the tank in pieces among other things. It was in need of some desperately needed love lol...

Phase II - After stripping most of the vinyl graphics off and polishing the fairings, getting the bike put back together. Had the shop rebuild the carbs and a slew of other things etc.... It's running at this point. This was last weekend.

Phase III - Got all the graphics off the bike that were removable and polished up the fairings etc... Replaced the stock 94' tank with a stock 90' version (ebay score w/ gas cap and key for 80 bones). Needed a cap/key anyway so it worked out great. Black color is a bit off from the 94 but overall it was way cheaper than a respray and once I get some graphics it'll look ok I think. ? These pics were taken yesterday.

Phase IV - The next phase is yet to come but I have some graphics planned from Tapworks. Not set in stone yet with regards to colors, but I really like this (generic) kit design.

That's all for now. I'll post some pics in the future once I get make up my mind on a graphics set. Open to oppinions, color schemes and ideas for them too.
