My Wings Are Back!!
Here she is.....finished an hour ago. A HUGE thanks to my brother-in-law, Chuck Frymyer, of Frymyer Custom Paint for the help/ doing the paint job! That's him on the bike...now HE wants to ride it.....
Also thanks to everyone on here that threw help my way...this site is great! Oh, and to my wife for the time I've spent away and bills I've aquired along the way....
I hope some of you like it, I know it's not everyone's cup-of-tea, but a LOT of hard work went into it, and I'm in love!!!
Now I gotta go ride and catch up on my miles! Later all!

VERY nice work. You can tell there are alot of hours spent there. Good job on the flames. I like the base color too.
Yeah, my brother-in-law says I owe him a turn on my bike since I've borrowed his truck a time or two......those are gonna be some tense moments for me! On second thought I'll offer a couple cases of beer instead!

Thanks guys.....glad you like it. The beer would be a good idea...better than losin' your bird
As for the chain, it was loose in the pic. Had to roll it outside while the sun was out for pictures, off and on all day. I made the hangers at work one night ...just a little somethin' to help tie it all in.

Looks good... REAL good. I have that same undertail. I have a problem with it vibrating at the end. Where the UT and rear meet above the tail lights they rub, and have chipped the paint. I say this cause I'd hate to see it happen to you. Maybe take and put a rubber bushing in between them there?

Thanks guys! Cleveland.....I saw that problem when I put her together, so I ran 4 small polished stainless bolts through both undertail and cowl. 2 near front, two right under the bend at the back. Does not budge now...thanks for the heads up tho!

Beautiful job, but that windshield looks massive. I believe it was someone here who said it makes it look Alien-esque...I wonder about a black job with green splattered across it with that shield...Hmm...

Thanks guys.
Marinehawk, it's the tall "touring" windshield from ZG....I like protection, I ride about 30K a year. But I agree, it does have an over bearing presence.
Lazn, I know what you mean about the 996....took me a bit to like it, but it is neat, it is done in Harliquin paint, so it changes colors depending on the angle you look at it from (light blue->medium blue->dark blue->purple->light purple->gold). You can see it fade a little in a couple of the pics. The Superhawk on the fairing and the design on the fenders are painted with that also. Like I said, I know everyone won't like some, or all, of it, and that's cool. To each our own. Thanks for the compliments tho! I've got a lot of time in her.
