    Hey Kids:

    The Old Man wrapped-up another restoration. Another fine XJ ... BACK in action. I Rolled-Out my 2006 XJ-750 Custom, today. Oh, sure ... there's the usual "Little things" left to do. Paint some recessed lettering. Find a YICS decal. Add Christmas lights. Fight with the wife about keeping all the other bikes, parts and stuff. But, here's what Ive been doing for the past two years. Rebuilt ... end to end and top to bottom. Repainted: Front to back. The tank is currently my Masterpiece. I've never attempted anything like this, before. Fair warning: If you get an airbrush kit ... everything you own is going to wind-up getting painted!

    MY MAX IS FINISHED ... Hey World !!! My Max is "On the Road!"

    VERY nice!

    I can only hope mine comes out 1/4 as great as that looks.

    Love the colors too, awesome paint job :D

    Two years well spent I say.

    I don't think I could ride anything that polished.
    Very nice!

    Re: RickCoMatic's Custom 750 - Done - On the ROAD!

    Rick,

    Use http://www.Photobucket.com (you have to set up and account but it's pretty handy I think and they don't send you any junk email or anything like that)

    or use http://www.imageshack.us/ for really large files. (no account needed)

    Either one will save your picture on the web indefinately and generate a link for you to copy/paste wherever you want to post it.

    :D

    Nice Job!!! Real beauty. Now comes the real challenge, keeping it that way and in your posession.

    Merged the threads and cleaned it up a bit… RickCoMatic, I got your email but didn’t have time to reply. I’ve been busy last few days…

    Great work RickCoMatic. Boy that XJ looks real sharp :wink:
