Before - Jan 2011 - Paid $650 for this bike.
Mechanically sound but cosmetically ugly!
So I decided to dress her up a bit - started with a banging out some dents in tank and or course those I could not pound out I bondo'd. Then I added the Pink custom color I had whipped up at the paint shop. By the way this is my first attempt at painting.
Then I added my clear coat that really made the lace design pop.
Then the remainder of the transformation happened - with powder coat of exhaust to black - as well as my rims and forks.
She has served me well - in fact since I purchased her I have put over 5000 miles on her and ride her almost everyday (the luxury of living in Florida is biking year round)
Hope to see you on the streets!
